The EU called on Israel to cease fire in Gaza

Attacking critical vital infrastructure is a war crime, the European Union emphasized.

"We strongly urge the Israeli government to refrain from actions that worsen the living conditions of the civilian population in Gaza and to comply with its obligations under international law. An immediate ceasefire is urgently needed to end the plight of civilians in Gaza, including the Israeli hostages," the diplomat said.

Borrell noted that the humanitarian disaster in Gaza is creating life-threatening conditions for the civilian population, which continues to suffer from hunger and repeated displacement to overcrowded tent camps for the tenth consecutive month.

The High Representative of the EU for Foreign Affairs also reminded that striking critical and vital infrastructure is a war crime.

"Violations of international humanitarian law must be thoroughly and independently investigated, and accountability ensured," Borrell emphasized.
