EU Urges Israel to Immediately Resume Humanitarian Aid to Gaza.
By Caroline Ameh
The European Union has issued a strong call for Israel to restore the flow of humanitarian aid into Gaza without delay, warning of a worsening humanitarian crisis in the region.
EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell stressed the urgency of the situation, stating, “The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dire, and it is imperative that humanitarian aid reaches those in need without delay.” His remarks come amid growing international concern over the impact of the ongoing conflict on Gaza’s civilian population on Tuesday.
The EU warned that shortages of food, clean water, and medical supplies are deepening the crisis in the besieged enclave, where many residents depend heavily on international assistance for survival. Borrell reaffirmed the EU’s commitment to supporting affected civilians and reiterated the bloc’s call for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.
The EU has been increasingly critical of Israel’s military operations in Gaza and has repeatedly urged all parties to exercise restraint and adhere to international humanitarian law. Brussels continues to advocate for a two-state solution, viewing it as the only viable path toward lasting peace and security for both Israelis and Palestinians.
In response, Israeli officials have stated that they remain committed to minimizing civilian harm and facilitating humanitarian access. However, they also cited concerns about Hamas exploiting aid deliveries for military gain, complicating the delivery process.
As the conflict drags on, the EU’s latest warning shows the pressing need to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and work toward a political resolution that prioritizes the protection of civilians.
