UNCHR chief: Palestinian spillover into Egypt's Sinai a 'disaster for future of peace'

The UN's High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi, said on Friday that a spillover of refugees from Gaza into Egypt's Sinai would be a "disaster for the Palestinians ... a disaster for Egypt and a disaster for the future of peace".

Grandi told Reuters at the Munich Security Conference that "the Egyptians said that people should be assisted inside Gaza and we are working on that".
