The United States has evacuated over 1,000 of its citizens from Lebanon, amid escalating tensions and potential Israeli military action. In a belated announcement, the U.S. State Department and the White House confirmed that efforts are underway to support Americans seeking to depart or relocate within Lebanon. The U.S. government is working around the clock to provide options for departure, including offering loans to citizens who need assistance. Some evacuations have been facilitated via Turkey. U.S. officials emphasized their commitment to aiding Americans in the region.
