Asked what worries him about ground invasion, Biden says, 'Death'
When a reporter on Friday asked President Joe Biden what worries him about a potential Israeli ground invasion into Gaza, Biden responded, "Death."
UN Secretary-General António Guterres warned earlier Friday that Israel’s call for more than 1 million people to evacuate northern Gaza "is extremely dangerous, and in some cases, simply not possible."

He warned that "hospitals in the south of Gaza are already at capacity and will not be able to accept thousands of new patients from the north."
"The health system is on the brink of collapse; morgues are overflowing," Guterres said at the UN headquarters in New York. "The entire territory faces a water crisis, its infrastructure has been damaged, and there is no electricity to power pumps and desalinization plants."
Israeli forces have postponed the demand to evacuate Gaza's Al Awda Hospital until 6 a.m. local time.
