European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen has said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised in a telephone call to do more to bring aid into Gaza, AFP reports.

“I insisted and urged that humanitarian aid that is not reaching Gaza has to go into Gaza. He promised that this is the case and that this will be the case,” she told reporters at a Group of Seven summit in Kananaskis, Canada.

Von der Leyen said she would follow up on the promise after the three-day summit.

She said she will seek to find out on humanitarian aid “how it reaches Gaza, whether it gets into Gaza, what we can do to make sure that humanitarian aid reaches its peak in Gaza”.
