A European Commission spokesperson says the EU is considering all options as "Israel" falls short on commitments to improve the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

A European Commission spokesperson acknowledged that while "Israel" has taken certain steps to enhance the provision of humanitarian aid to Gaza, the overall conditions continue to be extremely severe, with persistent challenges and unmet needs exacerbating the crisis for the civilian population.

He added that the EU was currently assessing the situation and emphasized that all options remained on the table if "Israel" did not deliver on an agreement made with the EU earlier this month regarding the improvement of the humanitarian situation in Gaza.

The agreement included provisions for a substantial increase in the number of daily trucks carrying food and non-food items into Gaza, the opening of additional crossing points in both the northern and southern regions, and the resumption of aid routes from Jordan and Egypt.

A senior Israeli official stated earlier this week that while "Israel" had reached "understandings" with the EU regarding the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, no "formal agreement" had been made, emphasizing that "Israel's" actions were guided by its own cabinet decisions rather than external commitments.

115+ killed by Israeli-made famine in Gaza

Hospitals in Gaza have documented over 115 deaths from malnutrition and famine as a result of the Israeli blockade, with the deepening famine now affecting the entire Strip, exacerbated by the uninterrupted closure of all crossings for 145 days straight and the ongoing blockade of critical humanitarian supplies, including infant formula.

In a statement issued on July 24, the Government Media Office in Gaza sounded the alarm over the severe scarcity of food, water, and medicine, emphasizing that the Strip desperately needs a minimum of 500,000 bags of flour weekly to prevent a complete humanitarian catastrophe.

In its statement, the office also refuted claims circulated by some activists outside Gaza that the famine had been alleviated or that "hundreds of aid trucks" had entered, firmly rejecting these assertions as entirely unfounded and stressing that such misleading narratives dangerously align with Israeli propaganda while obscuring the reality of the persistent humanitarian crisis.

The statement also warned against the dissemination of rumors that risk desensitizing global attention and diverting focus from the dire humanitarian emergency, calling on Palestinians and their supporters to actively counter false narratives and maintain an unwavering commitment to truthfully documenting the unfolding catastrophe.

The statement ended by urgently calling upon every nation without exception to take immediate action to lift the blockade, maintain open crossings permanently, and guarantee unimpeded access for infant formula and critical humanitarian supplies to reach over 2.4 million Palestinians enduring the siege in Gaza.
