EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has said that Israel’s military campaign in Gaza had turned the territory into the world’s biggest “open-air graveyard”, AFP reports.

“Gaza was before the war the greatest open-air prison. Today it’s the greatest open-air graveyard,” Borrell said at a meeting of EU ministers in Brussels.

“It’s a graveyard for tens of thousands of people and also a graveyard for many of the most important principles of humanitarian law.”
