White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan said on Sunday the United States is focused on ensuring American citizens can find safe passage out of Gaza into Egypt.
The Israeli military said on Sunday it would continue to allow Gazans to evacuate south ahead of an expected ground assault by its forces on the Gaza Strip in retaliation for unprecedented attacks by Hamas militants eight days ago.
Sullivan, who spoke to CBS's "Face the Nation," also said the US is making sure the broader civilian population leaving Gaza has access to food, water, medicine and shelter.
