War in the Middle East, live: last hour of the conflict between Israel and Gaza

The maximum representative of community diplomacy, Kaja Kallas, warned Monday that “the war in Gaza becomes increasingly dangerous” and requested, in the name of the EU, the arrival of humanitarian aid, “including the access of NGOs”, in addition to the “immediate fire and the liberation of hostages.” “If a military solution were possible, the war would have already ended,” Kallas added in a message spread through the social network X, after an extraordinary meeting by videoconference of the Foreign Ministers of the twenty -seven. “Today’s conversation with the ministers underlines the shared urgency of ending the cycle of violence. The first priority is to get help to the Gaza Strip, even through international NGOs that face administrative obstacles when they should be distributing help to people who go hungry,” Kallas said in a message broadcast by his spokesman. “Air releases, although welcome, are only a temporary solution and by themselves they can never meet the needs of the population. While more help arrives, the needs are still much older. We urge Israel to allow more trucks and a better distribution of aid,” said the official.
