12 February 2024 at 12:44 Israel: Asks the UN for help to evacuate civilians from Gaza A spokesperson for the Israeli authorities is asking the UN for help to evacuate civilians from Gaza, reports Reuters. – We encourage the UN to cooperate. Don’t say it can’t be done. Work with us to find a way, spokeswoman Eylon Levy said in a press conference. The call from Israel comes in connection with an announced escalation of attacks against the border town of Rafah, in the very south of Gaza. Over 1.2 million Palestinians have sought refuge there from other places in Gaza. Both Norway, the UN and several other organizations have asked Israel not to attack Rafah, because they fear enormous consequences for the Palestinians.
