Jason Walls: ZB political editor on Chris Hipkins calling for a humanitarian pause in the Middle East as conflict intensifies - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The outgoing Government has joined international calls for a humanitarian pause, as violence in Israel and Gaza escalates.

Chris Hipkins, in consultation with the incoming Government, has requested humanitarian corridors in Gaza and designated safe areas that can't be targeted.

ZB political editor Jason Walls says this pause would allow aid organisations to go into established safe areas to provide resources, aid and relief.
