"The State Department told Americans to use 'available commercial transportation' to evacuate. On Tuesday, when Americans called a phone number publicized by the State Department, they received an automated message: 'Please do not rely on the U.S. government for assisted departure or evacuation. At this time, there are currently no United States evacuation points.”'
"Business Insider also called the hotline on Tuesday afternoon and got a 45-second pre-recorded message that told Americans to check the embassy website, shelter in place, and enroll in STEP for updates.
'Please do not rely on the US government for assisted departure or evacuation at this time,' the message said. 'There are currently no United States evacuation points.'"
