EU warns of escalating violence in Mideast, humanitarian crisis in Gaza
The European Union’s foreign policy chief and its commissioner for humanitarian aid and crisis management warned Sunday over escalating violence in the Middle East and a humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
"Yesterday was one of the deadliest days since October, with at least 100 Palestinians reportedly killed," Josep Borrell said on X, referring to the Israel-Hamas war. Borrell said the situation remains dire as Israelis and foreigners are still being held captive in Gaza and the risk of a full-blown conflict involving the Lebanese Hezbollah group looms large.
