Tehran, IRNA -- The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) has warned that a mass evacuation of Gaza City could not be carried out in a safe or dignified manner, as Israel tightened its siege on the area ahead of a widely expected offensive.
"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," ICRC President Mirjana Spoljaric said in a statement on Saturday.
She added that the dire state of shelter, healthcare, and food in the enclave made any such evacuation "not only unfeasible but incomprehensible under the present circumstances."
