Josep Borrell has warned that “there is no safe zone in Gaza” for Palestinian civilians to flee to, noting that there were “600,000 children” in the densely populated enclave, reports AL Jazeera.

At a meeting of EU development ministers, he stressed that the EU and the US had asked Netanyahu not to go ahead with his assault on Rafah.

“I am afraid that this is going to cause again a lot of casualties, civilian casualties.”
