[The EU urges Israel to open all crossing points in Gaza] November 15th. On the 14th local time, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Karas issued a statement on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, expressing deep concern about the continuing deterioration of the humanitarian crisis there. The statement said that the severe flooding and severe cold weather in the Gaza Strip have further exacerbated the living difficulties of the local people, and urged Israel to immediately release humanitarian aid supplies.
The statement emphasized that international law and international humanitarian law must be respected and civilians, civilian infrastructure, and medical personnel and medical facilities must be effectively protected. The EU urges Israel to immediately allow large-scale and unhindered delivery and distribution of humanitarian aid and other supplies, reopen all Gaza border crossings, and facilitate the work of United Nations agencies and other humanitarian organizations.
The statement pointed out that although a year has passed since the ceasefire was declared, military strikes are still continuing. Due to restrictions on aid access, basic supplies such as housing, medicine and medical equipment are still in short supply in Gaza, making it difficult for people to obtain basic living security.
The statement stated that the EU reiterated its support for the "two-state solution" and called on all parties to abide by relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions. (CCTV News)
