The German government has said after ministers discussed ways to heighten pressure on Israel that the amount of aid entering Gaza remains “very insufficient” despite a limited improvement, AFP reports.

Germany “notes limited initial progress in the delivery of humanitarian aid to the population of the Gaza Strip, which, however, remains very insufficient to alleviate the emergency situation”, government spokesman Stefan Kornelius said in a statement.

“Israel remains obligated to ensure the full delivery of aid,” Kornelius added.
