Red Cross: Mass expulsion from Gaza City 'unfeasible and incomprehensible'

The president of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, warned that the expulsion of Gaza City residents could pose a threat to civilians. 

"It is impossible that a mass evacuation of Gaza City could ever be done in a way that is safe and dignified under the current conditions," Spoljaric said. 

"Such an evacuation would trigger a massive population movement that no area in the Gaza Strip can absorb, given the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and the extreme shortages of food, water, shelter and medical care."

The ICRC president noted that Israeli expulsion orders do not ensure safe conditions for displaced individuals, making their expulsion not only "unfeasible but incomprehensible" under current circumstances.
