随着美国国务院敦促美国人在与伊朗日益扩大的战争期间离开中东14个国家，一些美国人正在表达对政府缺乏帮助的不满。
住在芝加哥的美国人萨沙·霍夫曼（Sasha Hoffman）在美以军事行动开始时正在迪拜度假，起初她认为自己可以等到战斗结束。但在听到特朗普总统称”史诗狂怒行动”可能持续四到五周后，她的想法改变了。
“老实说，我们被困住了，”她周二告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。”现在美国说’美国人回家’，但实际上我们回不去。我们预订了今天、明天的航班，所有航班都被取消了。阿联酋的空域到明晚之前全部关闭。”
她说她理解优先考虑安全的必要性，”但你不能告诉我们离开，却不提供一个我们可以乘坐商业航班离开的安全区域。”
霍夫曼还谈到了被困在战区的恐惧，她告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻：”这太可怕了。”
“在美国，我们不习惯听到战斗机整天飞行，当然也不会听到导弹实际坠落爆炸…或看到烟雾，”她说。”这些都不正常。我甚至经历过波士顿马拉松爆炸案，我就住在爆炸点楼上，这次比那次严重得多。”

周一晚间，美国人被要求”立即离开”巴林、埃及、伊朗、伊拉克、以色列、约旦河西岸、加沙、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、阿曼、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、叙利亚和阿联酋以及也门。他们被敦促”利用现有商业交通离开，因为存在严重安全风险”。
美国国务院周二表示，过去几天已有超过9000名美国人从中东返回美国，其中包括300多人来自以色列。一位消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，据信该地区有超过100万美国人。
被困在科威特的旅行博主兼网红艾莉莎·拉莫斯（Alyssa Ramos）周一告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，她”正在自行处理此事，因为政府根本不帮助我们，而且无法联系到任何人。”
美国驻科威特大使馆周二晚些时候表示，由于”持续的地区紧张局势”，使馆将关闭至另行通知，领事预约已取消。在伊朗袭击该国后，使馆一天前曾冒出烟雾。
拉莫斯说，她降落后约两小时，科威特机场遭到袭击，尽管他们考虑立即离开，但被告知前往酒店，因为机场即将关闭。她还说，她试图预订的所有离境航班都被取消了。拉莫斯说，她的另一个选择是陆路前往沙特阿拉伯，然后从利雅得搭乘航班离开。
她说听到导弹从头顶飞过”令人紧张”和”恐惧”。
“我们整天整夜都听到警报声。半夜我们听到天空中的爆炸声，当然我们看到周围地区被袭击的新闻，”拉莫斯说。”这真的很可怕。我们真的希望离开这里。”
在以色列，怀着双胞胎的美国人格鲁布·鲁宾斯坦（Tamar Rubinstein）说，她正在乘巴士前往埃及，然后经欧洲飞往芝加哥的家。她说这段旅程大约需要两天半。
“情况非常不明确，”鲁宾斯坦告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻。”所以我不想等到无法旅行的地步。”
自2019年起居住在阿联酋的美国教师内特·鲍林（Nate Bowling）告诉哥伦比亚广播公司费城频道：”我们一天多次听到拦截声。凌晨3点左右有警报响起，把我们吵醒，我们能听到拦截的声音。但我们现在在这里很安全。”
“没有航班，”这位美国空军预备役老兵和前年度国家教师决赛选手说。”明确地说：美国发动了战争。然后，在战争开始后，才告诉人们撤离。但没有航班，所以没人能离开。”
Americans trying to evacuate Middle East frustrated with government response

As the U.S. Department of State urges Americans to leave 14 countries across the Middle East amid the widening war with Iran, some Americans are voicing frustration with the lack of help from their government.
Sasha Hoffman, an American who lives in Chicago and was vacationing in Dubai when the U.S.-Israeli military action began, initially thought she would be able to wait out the fighting. But after hearing President Trump say Operation Epic Fury could last four to five weeks, her thinking changed.
“We’re honestly trapped,” she told CBS News on Tuesday. “It’s really frustrating that right now the U.S. is saying ‘Americans come home’ when in reality we can’t come home. We’ve had flights booked today, tomorrow, all of them are canceled. All of the airspace is closed through tomorrow night, now, if you’re in the UAE.”
She said she understands the need to prioritize safety, “but then you can’t tell us to get out and create no zone where we can all leave on commercial flights.”
Hoffman also spoke of the fear of being trapped in a war zone, telling CBS News, “It’s terrifying.”
“We’re not used to it in the U.S., where you just hear fighter jets going on all day long, and you certainly don’t hear the missiles actually landing and blowing up … nor smoke plumes,” she said. “These are not things that are normal. I even lived through the Boston Marathon bombing, I lived right above it, and this is so much worse than that.”

Americans were told late Monday to “depart now” from Bahrain, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Syria, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen. They were urged to leave “using available commercial transportation, due to serious safety risks.”
The State Department said Tuesday that more than 9,000 Americans have returned to the U.S. from the Middle East over the past several days, including more than 300 from Israel. More than a million Americans are believed to be in the region, a source told CBS News.
Travel blogger and influencer Alyssa Ramos, who is stuck in Kuwait, told CBS News on Monday that she is “taking matters into our own hands because the government simply is not helping us and there’s no way to get a hold of anyone.”
The U.S. Embassy in Kuwait said later Tuesday it was closed until further notice “due to ongoing regional tensions” and that consular appointments were canceled. It was closed a day after smoke was seen rising from the mission following Iranian attacks on the country.
Ramos said the airport in Kuwait was struck about two hours after she landed and, while they thought about trying to leave immediately, she said she was told to go to her hotel since the airport would be closing. She also said every flight she’s tried to book out of the country has been canceled. Her other option is to get to Saudi Arabia by land and then get a flight out of Riyadh, Ramos said.
She said hearing the missiles fly overhead is “nerve-wracking” and “terrifying.”
“We heard the sirens all day, all night. In the middle of the night we hear the explosions in the sky, and of course we see the news of places around us getting struck,” Ramos said. “It’s just really scary. We’re really hoping to get out of here.”
In Israel, American Tamar Rubinstein, pregnant with twins, said she’s taking a bus to Egypt, and then flying through Europe back to her home in Chicago. She said the journey will take her about two and a half days.
“There’s such a lack of clarity,” Rubinstein told CBS News. “So I didn’t want to get to the point where I wouldn’t be clear to travel anymore.”
Nate Bowling, an American teacher who has lived in the United Arab Emirates since 2019, told CBS Philadelphia, “We hear interceptions multiple times a day. There was an alert that went off at like 3 o’clock in the morning, woke us up, and we could hear the interceptions. But we’re safe and well here right now.”
“There are no flights,” the U.S. Air Force Reserve veteran and former National Teacher of the Year finalist said. “And to be clear about that: The United States began a war. And then, after the war began, told people to evacuate. But there are no flights, and so nobody can get out.”
