Brussels, April 14 (RHC)-- The European Union declared in a statement over the weekend that the bloc’s “priorities remain the resumption of the ceasefire, the release of all hostages and the restoration of humanitarian aid at scale into Gaza.”

It said Brussels “is extremely concerned by reports of the humanitarian situation in Gaza, which suggest that food supplies brought in during the ceasefire are running out.”

“Under International Humanitarian Law, humanitarian aid must reach civilians in need.”

The EU also said it “firmly condemns the killing of 15 humanitarian aid workers in Gaza on March 23rd and calls for accountability.”  According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), the aid workers were “executed” and buried by Israeli forces in Rafah.

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) also said that “immediate action is needed to prevent a deepening humanitarian crisis” in Gaza.
