U.N. aid chief: Gaza conflict could spread across region like wildfire

The conflict in Gaza is a wildfire that could spread across the region, U.N. aid chief Martin Griffiths said on Thursday, adding that allowing the situation to continue in Gaza would be a "travesty".

"The United Nations cannot be part of unilateral proposal to push Palestinians into so-called safe zones," he also said, at the start of a humanitarian conference on Gaza in Paris.
