Hope Palestina Urges Andorra to Prepare Gaza Evacuations Amid Crisis

Hope Palestina representatives met on Friday with Andorra's Foreign Affairs Minister Imma Tor to outline the dire humanitarian crisis in Gaza and urge the government to establish coordination mechanisms for potential evacuations if a humanitarian corridor opens.

The platform highlighted daily hardships faced by Palestinian families, including flooding, precarious tent camp conditions, and extreme vulnerabilities. They emphasized the urgency of preparing in advance through collaboration with Spain or France, pending an EU-approved plan and Israeli border authorization.

Evacuations from Gaza currently require Israeli approval and are restricted to three categories: medical cases on WHO lists, departures for studies or scholarships, and family reunification for those with direct relatives in EU countries. Platform sources stressed that no EU framework or humanitarian corridor exists yet, ruling out unilateral Andorran action or immediate measures.

Hope Palestina noted that the government reaffirmed its willingness to collaborate on other fronts, such as immediate survival aid and future reconstruction—consistent with commitments from a September meeting. Until Israel allows a corridor, evacuation options remain limited, though economic and emotional support can continue.
