UN: ‘Not possible’ to create safe zones in Gaza

The United Nations said on Tuesday that it has now become “impossible” to create safe zones for civilians seeking shelter inside Gaza, amidst ongoing Israeli bombing. 

“The so-called safe zones… are not scientific, they are not rational, they are not possible, and I think the authorities are aware of this,” James Elder, spokesman for the UN children’s agency Unicef, told reporters in Geneva via video-link from Cairo.
