EU says Israeli strikes in Gaza 'go beyond what is necessary' to fight Hamas13 hours ago Share Save Rachel Hagan BBC News Share SaveAFP At least 35 people were killed after Israel targeted the Fahmi Al-Jargawi School in Gaza City on SundayThe EU's top diplomat, Kaja Kallas, has said that "Israeli strikes in Gaza go beyond what is necessary to fight Hamas" as the death toll there continues to mount.
Humanitarian aid can not be weaponised", she said.
"The majority of the aid to Gaza is provided by the EU but it's not reaching the people as it is blocked by Israel," Kallas said.
Israel and the US are backing a new aid distribution system run by a controversial new group, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF).
The GHF's aid distribution system uses US security contractors and bypasses the UN, which has rejected it as unethical and unworkable.
