Josep Borrell has responded to reports that “tens of people” were killed by an Israeli army bombing on a “school sheltering families in Khan Younis”, calling for those responsible to be held accountable.

In a post on X, the EU foreign policy chief asked: “For how long are innocent civilians going to bear the brunt of this conflict?”

Borrell also renewed his calls for a ceasefire, the release of captives and the delivery of humanitarian aid.
