Belgium’s King Philippe has called for stronger European leadership in addressing the Gaza humanitarian crisis, describing the situation as "a disgrace to humanity."

In a speech delivered on Sunday ahead of Belgium’s National Day on July 21, the monarch stated that "the current situation has gone on far too long."

He echoed the call of United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres for "an immediate end to this unbearable crisis," emphasizing Belgium’s support for such appeals.

At least 73 Palestinians were killed on Sunday while attempting to obtain aid across Gaza, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry, and many of the victims were shot near the Zikim crossing with "Israel" in the northern part of the territory. According to reports, an additional 150 people were reportedly wounded.

According to the Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, more than 922 Palestinians have been martyred and over 6,000 wounded "among those who risked their lives to obtain food and water" amid the continuing blockade and critical shortages of basic supplies.

The statement emphasized that many of the victims died in front of cameras, while the world "continues to remain silent."

EU leadership faces scrutiny amid Gaza crisis

Despite the escalation in violence and rising civilian casualties, the European Union’s top officials did not issue any public response over the weekend.

Just days earlier, on July 15, EU foreign ministers met in Brussels and declined to impose sanctions on "Israel" over its conduct in Gaza.

The EU’s High Representative, Kaja Kallas, acknowledged the deteriorating conditions, calling the human rights situation in Gaza "catastrophic."

"We don’t have a ceasefire, and that’s why it is so much harder to provide that aid," Kallas said, adding: "But we really need to work for that to help the people because we don’t know how far the ceasefire really is [from being agreed]."
