The UN agency for Palestinians says it has thousands of truckloads of supplies near Gaza which it wants to deliver.

On Tuesday, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen described the images from Gaza as “unbearable” in a post on X, reiterating EU calls for Israel to let more aid in. The EU had announced a deal with Israel earlier this month to let in more aid trucks.

The prime minister’s statement is the latest sign of rising international alarm over the starvation and deaths of civilians in the besieged Palestinian territory.

Over 113 in Gaza have died from famine and malnutrition amid war, siege, and collapsing humanitarian aid routes.
