EU top diplomat tells Israel Gaza humanitarian situation 'untenable'
- The EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, demanded on Tuesday that Israel end its nine-week blockade preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza.
- The blockade stems from Israel's claim that aid was being diverted to Hamas, though UNRWA found no credible evidence supporting this.
- More than 439,000 people are displaced in Gaza, where essential supplies are critically low and the UN calls the aid blockade intentional.
- Kallas condemned the politicization of aid, stating it should come from neutral organizations, as under international law no siege on civilians is justified.
- The continued blockade risks worsening famine and civilian deaths, prompting EU officials to urge urgent action and include Gaza aid in upcoming council meetings.
