Watan-EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas stated Monday that while the EU has observed signs of increased aid trucks and supplies entering Gaza, it does not see any meaningful or sufficient improvement on the ground.
Her remarks came ahead of a high-level meeting in Brussels between European Union officials and Middle Eastern countries to discuss the humanitarian and political crisis in Gaza.
Last week, the EU announced it had reached an agreement with Israel aimed at easing humanitarian conditions in the enclave. The deal included increasing aid truck entries and opening select border crossings and roads to facilitate the delivery of essential supplies.
However, Egyptian Foreign Minister Badr Abdel Aaty cast doubt on the agreement’s effectiveness, telling reporters before the meeting:”Nothing has changed since the EU-Israel agreement regarding aid to Gaza.”
The statements from both European and Arab officials reflect growing frustration over the slow implementation of promises, as Gaza’s population faces a rapidly worsening humanitarian disaster due to prolonged siege, displacement, and infrastructure destruction.
-
The EU-Israel agreement was intended to alleviate severe shortages of food, water, and medical supplies.
-
Despite diplomatic commitments, aid access remains limited, and delivery mechanisms are heavily restricted.
-
Over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza continue to endure war, hunger, and displacement amid what many describe as a humanitarian collapse.
