EU chief Ursula von der Leyen ordered her European Commission on Wednesday to ‘surge’ aid deliveries to Gaza.
The announcement comes after a four-day pause in the conflict under a hostage-release deal was announced.
“The European Commission will do its utmost to use this pause for a humanitarian surge to Gaza,” she said in a statement, adding “I wholeheartedly welcome the agreement”.
I wholeheartedly welcome the agreement reached on the release of the 50 hostages and on a pause in hostilities.
