Germany Facilitates Evacuation of 68 Gazan Children to West Bank

In a coordinated effort with Israel, Germany has successfully evacuated 68 children from Rafah, Gaza, to Bethlehem, West Bank, amid escalating tensions.

68 children and 11 staff members were evacuated from the SOS Children's Village in Rafah to Bethlehem, highlighting a significant humanitarian effort.
The evacuation, requested by Germany and approved by Israel, aimed to protect the children from acute danger in the Gaza Strip.
Criticism arose from Israel's far-right, labeling the evacuation an 'ethical failure' and demanding explanations from Prime Minister Netanyahu.
The move comes as Israel prepares for a potential offensive in Rafah, raising concerns over humanitarian consequences.
European Union leaders call for an 'immediate humanitarian pause' in Gaza, urging Israel to refrain from a ground operation in Rafah.
