I cannot overstate the fear, panic & confusion that these Israeli maps are causing civilians in #Gaza, including my own staff.
People cannot run from place to place to try to escape Israel’s bombs, nor does international law expect them to.
What is being done is unconscionable. https://t.co/1oL7HXDN19— Melanie Ward (@melanie_ward) December 3, 2023
