UN Warns of Gazan Exodus to Egypt Threatening Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Resolution

The UN Refugee Chief emphasized the dire consequences of a mass movement from Gaza into Egypt, highlighting the potential to derail peace efforts.

UN Refugee Chief Filippo Grandi warns that a potential exodus of Gazans into Egypt could make resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict impossible.
The prospect of Gazans fleeing to Egypt arises as Israel plans an assault on Rafah, where over a million Gazans currently seek refuge.
The United States has cautioned Israel that proceeding with the assault could lead to global isolation.
UNHCR is preparing for the possible influx of Gazans into Egypt by stocking tents and supplies and coordinating with regional countries.
The situation presents an 'atrocious dilemma' for Gazans, with their safety and the broader peace process at risk.
