EU top diplomat urges end to ‘madness’ after Gaza school strike

EU foreign affairs chief Josep Borrell has called for a “political solution” to end the “madness” in Gaza after the territory’s health ministry said an Israeli strike on a school had killed 30 people, AFP reports.

“Ceasefire has to happen now. International Humanitarian Law has to be respected. Humanitarian assistance to civilians needs to be delivered at scale. Only a political solution will end this madness,” Borrell said in a post on X.

In another post, he said “yet another attack on a school used as a shelter for internal displaced people in Khan Younis… At the same time an already very fragile population is asked to relocate again and again, with no end in sight”.
