Trapped in Gaza for 2 weeks, hundreds of American citizens still not able to leave_我的网站

A |     While extensive, international negotiations have now led to the release of four hostages captured by Hamas, scores of foreign nationals in Gaza, including as many as 600 Americans, are still being blocked by the U.S.-designated terrorist group from crossing into Egypt, according to Biden administration officials."To date, at least, Hamas has blocked them from leaving, showing once again its total disregard for civilians of any kind who are stuck in Gaza," Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in a televised interview Sunday.On Monday, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller clarified that the U.S. now assessed that after weeks of negotiations with Egypt and Israel aimed at securing safe passage for the Americans, only Hamas stood in the way."We do believe that Egypt is ready to process American citizens if they can make it to Egyptian authorities. Hamas just has to stop blocking their exit," Miller said.Miller also said that while U.S. officials were not in direct communication with Hamas, they have been urging Hamas to step aside in messages sent through "a number of partners."The Biden administration has been working since soon after the Oct. 7 attacks on Israel to reopen the Rafah gate -- the sole border crossing between Gaza and Egypt -- in order to move aid into the area and allow foreign nationals to leave.While a limited number of trucks carrying food, water and medicine were able to enter Gaza for the first time on Saturday, so far none of the foreign nationals has been allowed to leave.Miller explained that "a number of civilians, some American citizens" flocked to the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing when it was first opened, but none were able to leave because Hamas "was there blocking anyone from coming through the gate from the Gaza side out to the Egyptian side."According to U.S. officials, the Egyptian government has also been hesitant to allow civilians to exit Gaza through the Rafah gate because of the country's intense concern over security threats posed by terrorist activities on the Sinai Peninsula.Egyptian officials are also likely eager to avoid the optics of thousands of people pouring across the border from Gaza -- wary the country might appear complicit in what its president and other Middle Eastern leaders have said would be an "ethnic cleansing" of Gaza.While securing Egypt's cooperation in eventually facilitating the departure of American citizens would be a diplomatic achievement for the administration, it does not yet appear that Cairo has signaled it will extend the same opportunity to the parents, children, siblings, and partners of U.S. nationals in Gaza.Miller said it was still the administration's goal that the immediate family members of American citizens crossing through the Rafah gate would be allowed to depart as well, but that it was "an ongoing conversation" with Egypt.With a potential Israeli ground incursion looming, the already dire circumstances facing Americans and their loved ones inside Gaza may soon get even worse.Abood Okal, a 36-year-old American, has been stranded in Gaza with his wife and 1-year-old son since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, told his lawyer, Sammy Nabulsi, that the family has been huddled in a home with 40 other people, sleeping on the floor, sharing meager amounts of food, and that for an entire day, they had been forced to drink salt water to survive.Nabulsi said in an interview with ABC News Live on Monday that Okal's family had been instructed by the State Department to go to the Rafah crossing four different times, but on each occasion no one had been allowed to pass through the gate."I think the holdup is the United States isn't focused on this effort at all," said Nabulsi. "It's unacceptable to me. It should be unacceptable to every single American citizen is this entire country."Although the State Department asserts that Hamas is preventing them from fleeing to safety, Miller said Americans stranded in Gaza are "in a different situation" from the around 220 individuals the Israeli Defense Forces believes are still being held hostage by the group."I am not at all trying to minimize the situation," Miller said, acknowledging Americans like Okal and his family are facing "deplorable" circumstances and vowing that U.S. officials are "working intensively' to get them out.The administration has not provided any number or estimate of how many of the 500 to 600 Americans thought to be trapped in Gaza have reached out to the State Department for help."We have a list of Americans who are registered with us, and when we have any information about the possibility of transiting outside of Gaza, we're providing it to all of them," Miller said.。    传奇游戏设计师 Harvey Smith 表示，他曾恳求微软允许他的团队发布最后一个补丁，以改进评价不佳的 Xbox 主机独占游戏 红霞岛 —— 尽管当时他已经被“解雇”了。第一人称吸血鬼射击游戏 红霞岛 于 2023 年发售，评价不佳。事实证明，这是 Arkane Austin 的最后一个项目。

B | 这家位于德克萨斯州的团队曾开发过 2017 年的 Prey，还曾参与过 耻辱：顿沃城审判 及其续作 耻辱：顿沃城审判 2 的开发。Smith 曾担任 2000 年 Deus Ex 的首席游戏设计师，随后担任 耻辱：顿沃城审判 和 耻辱：顿沃城审判 2 的创意总监。2024 年 5 月，随着 Arkane Austin 宣布关闭，他失去了工作，红霞岛 的后续更新计划也因此被取消。

C | 但该工作室一直在努力开发游戏的另一个补丁 红霞岛 version 1.4，旨在解决许多玩家反馈的问题和漏洞。

D | 在接受 The Game Business 采访时，Smith 首次透露，他必须与微软进行谈判，才能被允许回到办公室，以确保这个补丁能够面世。“我们完成了游戏，但评价非常糟糕，”Smith 回忆道。“然后我们又花了一年时间进行改进，修复了数千个漏洞。随后我们被裁员了，但当时 红霞岛 version 1.4 已经在开发中，它修复了大量问题。所以我们去找微软说，‘我知道我们已经不在这里工作了，但能否请让我们发布这个补丁？’ 值得赞扬的是，他们没有拒绝。”“他们让我们中的六七个人签署了表格，这样我们就能重新进入大楼。

E | 在被解雇后，我们发布了 红霞岛 version 1.4。我认为如果首发时就有这个版本，虽然不至于惊艳世界，但它会是一款好得多的游戏。”红霞岛 与 Arkane 所擅长的沉浸式模拟游戏大相径庭，它是在游戏行业狂热推崇实时服务要素的时期构思出来的。（这种推力至今仍有影响，据报道，索尼在收到负面反馈后正在重启其 Horizon multiplayer game。）“那是一个艰难的项目，”Smith 在总结 红霞岛 时说道。“Arkane 非常专业，但行业在增长，总有更多的人要养活。

F | 能接触到更广泛的受众是件好事。我们被卷入了实时服务游戏的浪潮中，而我当时愚蠢地认为我们总能成功。我们能做到，把我们喜欢的东西和实时服务结合起来，加入昼夜不同的机制，设定角色职业。结果在这一切进行到一半时，新冠疫情爆发了。”两年后，另一家 Arkane 开发工作室的命运也悬而未决。目前正在开发 Marvel's Blade 的 Arkane Lyon 正在作为 Xbox “重组”的一部分被出售——尽管该团队及其项目的最终结局仍有待观察。至于 Smith 本人，他成立新游戏开发工作室 Black Pony Immersive 的消息刚刚公开。这支由其他前 Arkane 成员支持的新团队，将再次专注于 Smith 曾参与开创的沉浸式模拟游戏类型。
