Germany’s Foreign Minister Calls for Urgent Humanitarian Access to Gaza
German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has dramatically described the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, urging Israel to open all border crossings to facilitate increased aid deliveries. Noting that access to aid has plummeted in recent months, she highlighted the dire conditions faced by over two million residents, many suffering from acute malnutrition. Baerbock stressed the urgency of delivering humanitarian supplies and called for a ceasefire to alleviate the ongoing suffering of hostages and civilians in both Gaza and Israel. She reiterated international humanitarian law’s mandate for unrestricted access to aid.
