The European Union has warned Israel of action over a worsening starvation crisis in Gaza, where the number of Palestinians who have died from starvation has risen to at least 101, according to Al Jazeera.

The warning from the EU’s foreign policy chief, Kaja Kallas, came yesterday as the United States said that President Donald Trump’s special envoy would be travelling to Europe for talks on a ceasefire in Gaza this week.

In a post on X, Kallas said that “all options remain on the table if Israel doesn’t deliver on its pledges” to increase humanitarian aid into the besieged enclave.

She called Israel’s killing of aid-seeking civilians in Gaza “indefensible”, adding that she had spoken to Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs Gideon Saar “to recall our understanding on aid flow and made clear that [the Israeli military] must stop killing people at distribution points”.
