Michaud said that Israel's frequent evacuation orders are the latest in a series of threats facing the United Nations and humanitarian aid workers. Since the outbreak of this round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict, humanitarian aid workers have been in danger. "Like most Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,Safe space for humanitarian aid workers is also shrinking。”

Michaud said that a large-scale polio vaccination campaign was scheduled to begin next week, when a large number of workers would need to enter the Gaza Strip. But the IDF's actions exacerbated existing security threats and seriously affected the speed of safe vaccine delivery, and "these restrictions are beyond our control."

It is understood thatThe evacuation order issued by Israel on the 25th in Deir al-Balah covered an important UN logistics center in Gaza, forcing the UN to suspend its humanitarian aid transportation on the same day."Under international humanitarian law, all parties to the conflict have a duty to do everything they can to protect the safety of our colleagues," Michaud said.

Michaud said that humanitarian assistance in higher-risk areas is still continuing, and personnel who risk their lives to provide humanitarian assistance need a safe and stable workplace. He called on all parties to respect international law and ensure the safety of UN personnel and sites in accordance with the commitments made in the UN Charter. (CCTV reporter Xu Dezhi Cao Jian)
