Josep Borrell: The lives of people in the Gaza Strip are at stake

"We regret the current situation in the Gaza Strip, but we must do more than regret. We must take action. What is at stake today in the Gaza Strip is whether people will survive or not."

This was stated by Josep Borrell before a meeting with US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken in Washington, Anadolu Agency reported.

The head of European diplomacy thanked the United States for its efforts to provide humanitarian aid to the residents of Gaza.

At the same time, Borrell noted that the amount of aid sent to Gaza by air, sea and land was insufficient.

"The hundreds of trucks carrying humanitarian aid cannot be replaced by parachutes. The most important thing is to open the land borders and start work on a two-state solution that is supported by both the US and the EU," he said Borel.

In turn, Blinken announced his plans to discuss with the head of European diplomacy issues related to Ukraine, Gaza, China and the Western Balkans./BGNES
