L.A. city employee evacuated after being trapped in Gaza, Mayor Bass' office says

A supervisor in an L.A. city department who became trapped in Gaza when war broke out has been safely evacuated, Mayor Bass says.

A Los Angeles city employee who was trapped in Gaza for weeks has been safely evacuated from the besieged territory, according to the mayor's office. 'Our office has been working to get him to safety and I have been in regular contact with his son. I am relieved to announce today that the employee is now safe in a neighboring country and out of the war zone,' Mayor Karen Bass said Thursday afternoon in a statement.

Biary works as a district supervisor for the city's General Services Department and has four children, according to the Star. 'He came here with nothing and started a life here,' Khalid Biary told the Star of his father, saying the elder Biary had sought asylum in the U.S. 30 years ago and settled in Simi Valley. Khalid Biary did not immediately respond to an interview request from The Times.
