Berlin urges Israel to boost aid access to ‘desperate’ north Gaza
Germany calls on Israel to let more humanitarian aid into north Gaza, arguing that a lack of supplies has led to a “desperate” and “unbearable” situation, a spokesperson for the German foreign ministry says.
“We call on the Israeli government urgently to meet its responsibilities under international law,” the spokesperson tells a regular news conference in Berlin.
“Israel has the right to self-defense against Hamas within the framework of humanitarian international law,” he adds.
The spokesperson was responding to a question about an ultimatum set by Washington for Israel to improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza this month or face potential restrictions on US military aid.
