EU sees limited progress on Gaza aid despite Israel deal, says EU foreign policy chief

There have been some signs of more trucks and supplies getting to Gaza but the European Union doesn’t see enough improvement on the ground, the EU’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said on Monday, ahead of a meeting with senior Middle Eastern and EU officials in Brussels.

The EU reached an agreement with Israel last week to improve the humanitarian situation in the Gaza strip, including increasing aid trucks and opening crossing points and certain aid routes.

Meanwhile, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdelatty said “nothing has changed” since an agreement between Israel and the European Union on the resumption of humanitarian aid to Gaza.

He made the statements to reporters ahead of the EU-Middle East meeting in Brussels on Monday.
