‘A few hours’ notice’ to evacuate 200 UN staff out of Deir el-Balah offices
Gilles Michaud, undersecretary-general for safety and security, says UN staff in Gaza “are operating at the upper-most peripheries of tolerable risk”. “Mass evacuation orders are the latest in a long list of unbearable threats to UN and humanitarian personnel,” he said about the dire situation in the enclave.
Over the weekend, the Israeli military “gave just a few hours’ notice to move more than 200 UN personnel out of their offices and living places in Deir el-Balah, a crucial humanitarian hub”, according to Michaud.
The timing could hardly be worse, with the start of a massive polio vaccination campaign scheduled for next week, for which large numbers of staff will need to enter the Strip. He added that the evacuation orders only compound existing security threats of operating in an active warzone.
