Mr. John Whyte:

What I know is that there are, let us say, 2.1 million people in Gaza. What I know is that there is nowhere for them to go. They will stay there if there is nowhere for them to go. Some maybe have expressed a willingness to leave if the possibility were to present itself. However, many would stay. Most would stay, I suspect. If you have a family, however, and want to educate your children and give them a future, what do you do? These are not easy questions to answer. There is a lot of pressure on some countries to take large numbers of Palestinians, but it is very hard to see that materialising. In the meantime, there eventually will be a ceasefire. Eventually, this war will end and 2.1 million or so people will need support. Who is going to provide that? Will it be Israel as occupying power? It is Israel's obligation under international humanitarian law to provide for the welfare, protection and safety of these people. Is it going to do that?
