Humanitarian aid in Gaza must resume immediately, EU tells Israel – Middle East Monitor

The delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza “must be resumed immediate Anadolu reports.

In a phone call, Kaja Kallas told Gideon Sa’ar that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is “unsustainable.”

“Humanitarian aid must be resumed immediately and should never be political. The new help delivery mechanism must pass through humanitarian actors,” he wrote in X.

Almost 2.4 million people in Gaza live completely dependent on humanitarian aid, according to the World Bank data.
