Brussels, November 14 (QNA) - The European Union (EU) has stressed the need for humanitarian aid to be delivered to those affected by the devastating floods in the Gaza Strip immediately and without obstruction. 
In its statement issued Saturday, the Union urged Israel to allow immediate, unimpeded access and sustained distribution of humanitarian assistance and early recovery support at scale, and to reopen all Gaza border crossings. 
"Israel must enable the work of the UN and its agencies, and humanitarian organizations including NGOs, and comply with all its obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law and international human rights law," it added.
The EU noted that the severe flooding and winter conditions that have struck Gaza are further aggravating the living conditions of an already exhausted population, exacerbating unsafe conditions and human suffering. (QNA)
