Creating safe zones in Gaza ‘not possible’, says UN
Jerusalem, Undefined – AFP
The United Nations said on Tuesday that it was impossible to create safe zones for civilians in Gaza.
“The so-called safe zones… are not scientific, they are not rational, they are not possible,” said James Elder, spokesman for the UN children’s agency, UNICEF.
On Monday, a UN official warned that humanitarian aid to Gaza could soon grind to a halt.
“The conditions required to deliver aid to the people of Gaza do not exist,” Lynn Hastings, UN humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, said in a statement.
Israeli forces have recently pushed into southern Gaza, “forcing tens of thousands… into increasingly compressed spaces”, Hastings said.
