The EU on Thursday agreed with Israel to increase aid deliveries to Gaza, which should see more lorries bringing food and the opening of additional crossing points, the bloc’s foreign affairs minister said. “Today, we reached an agreement with Israel to expand humanitarian access to Gaza,” Kaja Kallas wrote on X. “This deal means more crossings open, aid and food trucks entering Gaza, repair of vital infrastructure and protection of aid workers. We count on Israel to implement every measure agreed,” Ms Kallas added. Gaza’s two million residents are facing dire humanitarian conditions as Israel has severely limited the entry of aid during its devastating war with Hamas.
