Metro Detroit groups pushing the U.S. to do more to help American citizens trapped in Gaza
The ACRL’s Executive Director, Mariam Charara, said the group has been in close contact with one U.S. citizen's family currently in Gaza, a Palestinian-American couple from Livonia. She called the situation there “absolutely inhumane and devastating.”
“The urgency of the situation cannot be overstated. And we've made it our mission to facilitate the safe return of U.S. citizens stuck in Gaza,” Charara said.
Charara said one message they received from the family will remain “etched in my heart.”
“They just hit the house next to us,” the message said. “We are scared. We can't go to the bathroom. We can't go anywhere. We don't have electricity. We're without water. There's nothing. I think we are going to die before we leave.”
