European Union High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell underscored on Saturday that the continuing attacks on Gaza violate International Humanitarian Law (IHL), leaving behind "far too many" civilians, including children, dead.
"Gaza is in complete blackout and isolation while heavy shelling continues. The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) warns about the desperate situation of Gaza people without electricity, food, water," Borrell wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"A pause of hostilities is urgently needed to enable humanitarian access," he said, adding that he also condemns "indiscriminate rocket attacks" against Israel.
