The humanitarian situation in Gaza is getting worse every day for civilians. Under pressure from the EU and the US, aid should now arrive more quickly. An associated maritime corridor could open on Sunday.
“We are close to opening this corridor, hopefully this Sunday,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said Friday at the port of Larnaca in Cyprus. According to the President of the Commission, a pilot project will start on Friday as a test.
Emirates is also part of the project
US President Joe Biden had earlier announced the establishment of a temporary port in the Gaza Strip for additional aid deliveries by sea. According to the President of the Commission, the United Arab Emirates is also part of the project.
According to Foreign Secretary David Cameron, Britain also wants to participate in the construction of a maritime corridor, he announced on Friday. At the same time, he called on Israel to allow more trucks to enter Gaza by land. This is the fastest way to deliver relief supplies to people in need.
Biden is extremely dissatisfied with the situation
In his State of the Union address, Biden denounced the dramatic humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip, promised further aid to the people there and called on the Israeli leadership to better protect civilians. “More than 30,000 Palestinians have been killed, most of whom are not members of Hamas,” Biden said on Thursday (local time).
Children have been orphaned, people have lost their homes and been displaced. Many are without food, water and medicine. “It’s heartbreaking.”
