Blinken added that his department was “focused on this intensively” and working with regional partners to hash out a way to get the US citizens out of Gaza. But Sen. Jeff Merkley told the secretary of the plight of one Oregon family he is in touch with who “relayed to me how they three times have gotten a text message email saying, ‘Drop everything go to the Rafah crossing,’ and they waited until dark. But each time, nothing happened.”
