High Representative of the European Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell confirmed that there is evidence that Israel prevents the entry of aid into the Gaza Strip.

This was included in his remarks to US channel PBS on Friday, in response to a question about his statements at the United Nations (UN) Security Council in which he asserted: “Israel is using starvation as a weapon of war.”

Borrell pointed out: “It is a starvation in Gaza. Hundreds of thousands of people are starving literally, among them many children who have been dying by this nutrition.”

“If there is starvation, why there is starvation? Because there is not enough humanitarian support entering to support these people? And why is it? Because Israel is controlling the border, and not letting humanitarian support to come in. So, it is the logical consequences, no? You prevent humanitarian support from coming and people are starving, isn’t it logical cause and effect there?” he continued.
