The European Union (EU) has warned of the ongoing catastrophic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, as a result of the ongoing Israeli aggression for nearly nine months.

“The ceasefire approved by the UN Security Council has yet to be implemented,” the EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said on Thursday before an EU Council meeting in Brussels.

He stressed that “Humanitarian aid must be allowed to enter Gaza.”

“What we see now is a continuation of starvation and bombing”, the EU official said, adding, “stopping military action, providing more humanitarian support to Gaza, and considering political solution are the most pressing issues.”

The Israeli occupation army has been waging for 265 days, a genocide war on the Gaza Strip, with US and European support, leading to the martyrdom of 37,765 people, and the injury of 86,429 others, as well as the displacement of about 1.7 million residents of the Strip, according to UN data.
