European foreign policy chief Josep Borrell says “despite all tactical pauses announced, the situation is that no help is entering Gaza”, Al Jazeera reports.

“The help is stockpiling outside of the border. Some of these goods are perishing,” he said upon his arrival at the Foreign Affairs Council in Luxembourg.

Borrell said that both Hamas and Israel are failing to adhere to US President Joe Biden’s ceasefire plan that the EU is supporting.

“The last declaration from Prime Minister Netanyahu confirms that unfortunately, this plan is not going to be implemented. We desperately need a ceasefire that could allow humanitarian aid into Gaza. Otherwise, the tragedy will be incommensurable,” he said.
