EU Council calls for humanitarian corridor
ANKARA (AA) – The EU Council on Friday called for the establishment of a humanitarian corridor in Gaza.
“We call for the establishment of a humanitarian corridor and a humanitarian pause,” EU Council President Charles Michel told reporters on the sidelines of a summit in Brussels.
“We expressed a united, clear, and firm position,” Michel told a joint news conference alongside EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, stressing the importance of urgently delivering humanitarian aid to those in need in the region.
“We are much mobilized … to engage the political process, to relaunch the peace and security process, and to ensure that an international conference is soon organized, as was suggested by (Spanish) Prime Minister (Pedro) Sanchez yesterday,” he added.
