European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen says that the images of civilians being killed in Gaza during humanitarian aid distribution are “unbearable” and reiterates the European Union’s call for the safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid and respect for international law.
“Civilians cannot be targets. Never. The images from Gaza are unbearable. The EU reiterates its call for the free, safe and swift flow of humanitarian aid. And for the full respect of international and humanitarian law,” von der Leyen writes in a post on social media platform X.
“Israel must deliver on its pledges,” she adds.
