UN concerned about Rafah invasion

The concerns of Secretary-General Antonio Guterres have been echoed by the Office for Humanitarian Affairs and the High Commissioner for Human Rights here.

They all say that an evacuation or ground operation would just be impossible to carry out because there’s no place safe for people to go in Gaza.

They point out that people are being asked to relocate to an area that is already overcrowded, doesn’t have adequate services, and that evacuation corridors are likely to have mines and unexploded ordnance in them.

Military action in Rafah would also cripple humanitarian operations, another concern for the UN.
