Medical Aid for Palestinians have endorsed a statement by heads of UN agencies and international NGOs opposing the creation of so-called "safe zones" in Gaza.

Civilians must be protected wherever they are, and their mass forcible displacement ended and reversed.

The statement outlines that humanitarian chiefs will not participate in the establishment of any ”safe zone” in Gaza that is set up without the agreement of all the parties, and unless fundamental conditions are in place to ensure safety and other needs are met.
