Belgian Prime Minister Alexander de Koo drew attention to the need to allow the delivery of humanitarian aid in gas by land: “It is unacceptable that the man-made crisis put half the population of the Gaza on the brink of hunger.”
de Kroo made a statement for the press before the Summit of EU leaders in Brussels.
Having emphasized that the situation in Gaza is “dramatic”, the prime minister said: “Today we see people on the verge of hunger, who are trying to feed themselves, eating grass.”
He noted that Europe should take responsibility for the world in the region: “Europe needs not to follow, but to lead for itself. It is time to clearly declare that we demand an immediate ceasefire to release prisoners and send everyone to negotiations about two -state solution “.
The politician added that his country has already delivered a lot of humanitarian aid by air to Gaza and will participate in the delivery of assistance from the island of Cyprus on the sea corridor: “But this is not a solution. This must be done, but this is not a solution. This decision is this decision – this Access by land “.
The Prime Minister noted that the humanitarian aid to gas should be delivered by land, and criticized the fact that “the man-made crisis put half the population of the Gaza on the brink of hunger.”
