Israel is set to increase the flow of crucial humanitarian aid into the Gaza Strip, according to officials from both Israel and the European Union. This decision is a direct result of ongoing negotiations between the two parties, which have intensively urged Israel to address the overwhelming humanitarian needs in Gaza, where widespread hunger persists amidst harsh living conditions due to a prolonged conflict.
The new aid strategy, initiated in late May after an 80-day blockade, has so far failed to meet the urgent demands of the population in Gaza, who have faced escalating violence and chaotic distributions. Kaja Kallas, the chief diplomat of the European Union, disclosed the agreement during an interview, detailing specific terms on the number of aid trucks, open crossings, and distribution points to ensure assistance reaches those in need.
The European Commission later provided further insights regarding the upcoming aid efforts during a press conference in Brussels, illustrating the collective commitment to easing the harsh realities faced by Palestinians since the outbreak of the devastating war nearly two years ago.
