The European Union has expressed concern over the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in Gaza, deploring Israel’s renewed offensive on the Strip and urging it to lift the total blockade it has imposed since March 2, Al Jazeera reports.
In a statement, the bloc also condemned Israel’s killing of 15 paramedics in Gaza on March 23 and called for accountability.
It added, “The EU is extremely concerned by reports of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which suggest that food supplies brought in during the ceasefire are running out. Under International Humanitarian Law, humanitarian aid must reach civilians in need.”
