US President Joe Biden said Thursday that 74 American citizens with dual nationality are among the people evacuated so far from the Gaza Strip to Egypt.

"Good news, we got out today 74 American folks, dual citizens," Biden said in the Oval Office as he received Dominican President Luis Abinader.

Speaking to reporters later Thursday National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said "so far 74 US citizens and family members arrived on the Egyptian side."

He added: "That's in addition to the five Americans who departed yesterday. I want to stress that these numbers are changing in real time."

Hundreds more foreigners and dual nationals fled Gaza Thursday.
