BRUSSELS, July 23 (Xinhua) — Senior European Union officials on Tuesday strongly condemned the killing of civilians in lines for humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip, warning Israel to uphold its commitments on aid access and comply with international law.
“The killing of civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in Gaza is unforgivable,” EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Kaja Kallas wrote on social media X. She said she had spoken to Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar to remind him of how the EU understands aid and to demand that the Israeli military stop killing people at distribution points.
“We do not rule out any options if Israel does not fulfill its obligations,” she added.
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen shared those concerns, calling the situation in Gaza “unbearable” and stressing that civilians must never be targeted.
“The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and rapid flow of humanitarian aid, with full respect for international and humanitarian law,” she wrote on the social network X. “The civilian population of Gaza has suffered too much and for too long. This must stop now. Israel must live up to its obligations,” added U. von der Leyen.
The comments come amid a series of deadly incidents in the Gaza Strip. Health authorities in the enclave said Israeli forces opened fire on civilians waiting for aid distribution on Sunday, killing at least 85 people. Six more were killed in a separate incident in Rafah. –0–
