American Citizens Still Trapped In Yemen


ABC News: Yemen: For Hundreds of Americans Trapped, a Desperate Search for Freedom

Claire is 24, pregnant and trapped in Yemen with her new husband, two kittens and two huskies named Phoenix and Miska.

The Brooklyn native, who asked ABC News not to use her real first name and withhold her last name to protect her identity, described the last two weeks as a blur of window-rattling bombings -- but mostly misinformation, disconnected phone lines and automated emails.

“It’s been a big mess,” she says. “And I’m sorry, it’s really f----- up.”

Claire is one of at least 400 Americans still in Yemen, according to the Council on America-Islamic Relations (CAIR), an Arab American group who along with the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee have filed lawsuits against the U.S. State Department and Department of Defense for failing to evacuate its citizens.
