Mr. John Whyte:

I think there is pressure from Israel and probably pressure from the US, I would imagine, because they are the two main stakeholders or partners working on this war. I think it is a matter of record; I do not think I am speculating on this. Will it succeed? I doubt it. Would some go? I have colleagues who would go tomorrow. If you opened the gates, they would go. They have had enough. Everyone has had enough. You would not blame them but there are many who will stay. There are now 400,000 people still in Gaza surrounded by tanks, robotic bombs and everything. They are still there; they have not gone. I have colleagues who stayed the last time. They stayed right throughout and never left Gaza after October 2023. They stayed there, they served the people and they continued. I am not trying to make them anything superhuman. They are ordinary people just like us, but they chose to stay and stand their ground, and they are paying a massive price for it. There are a lot of local actors and local partners who are implementing on the ground - Gazan people who work with different voluntary organisations. They are the ones doing the work as well as UNRWA and the big organisations.
