A Queens mom of four and a pregnant woman from Brooklyn are among of a group of New Yorkers suing the US government for not rescuing them from Yemen.
Mom Haleema Ahmed and expectant mom Saffa Abdul Eltaieb — as well as Brooklynites Saleh Mothana, Esma Almontaser and Mohammed Omer — are trapped in the war-torn country and a federal suit has been filed on their behalf in Washington, DC, saying the State Department and Defense Department failed to protect them by not issuing evacuation orders to bring them home.
"Quite frankly, it's an embarrassment that we have the largest military and we're unable to evacuate our own citizens," said Abed Ayoub, legal and policy director of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, which filed the suit with the Council on America-Islamic Relations.
More than 700 Americans have registered with stuckinyemen.com, a Web site created by the ADC and CAIR, according to Ayoub.
A US official told The Post that Americans have been given fair warning to steer clear of Yemen, which has been under siege by Saudi-led and US-backed airstrikes against rebels who have seized parts of the country.
