The U.N. estimates that approximately 1.4 million people currently reside in the city located on Gaza's southern border with Egypt.

Harris emphasized in an interview with ABC News that a major military operation in Rafah would be a huge mistake and there is nowhere for the residents to go.

Quick Glance: Haitian PM Tenders Resignation After Jamaica Talks

Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has resigned as head of the Caribbean nation following talks in Jamaica, as confirmed by a regional leader. Henry, an unelected figure, has held this role since the 2021 assassination of the country's last president.

The establishment of a transitional presidential council and appointment of an interim prime minister were acknowledged by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) chair and Guyanese President Irfaan Ali, who expressed gratitude for Henry's service to Haiti.

Due to a surge in violence in the capital during his absence in Kenya, Henry was unable to return, prompting the need for a presidential council to appoint an interim prime minister and prepare for upcoming elections in Haiti.

The United States has called for an accelerated political transition as armed groups seek to destabilize the government. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken emphasized the creation of an independent presidential college to address the urgent need for political stability and security in Haiti.
