During a press briefing aboard Air Force Two, US Vice President Kamala Harris shared her apprehension regarding the safety of civilians in Rafah, a city in the southern Gaza Strip, amidst the possibility of an Israeli ground offensive. Harris emphasized the challenges faced by the civilian population, stating that after examining the maps, she sees no viable evacuation routes for the residents.
