Italian Prime Minister, Georgia Meloni, called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during a phone call yesterday evening (Wednesday), to provide the arrival of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip “completely and without obstacles,” according to Rome.
Meloni’s office said, in a statement, that the Italian Prime Minister stressed the ears of her Israeli counterpart on “the necessity of immediate endowment of hostilities, given the situation in Gaza, which she described as unbearable and unjustified.”
He added that «the conversation also constituted an opportunity to emphasize again the need to ensure that humanitarian aid is completely arriving and without obstacle to the civil population,” according to the French Press Agency.
The statement pointed out that “thanks to Italy’s commitment, 50 additional Palestinian civilians will be received, and aid will be delivered to the population in Gaza.”
Last week, Meloni described the situation in Gaza as “unacceptable”, stressing that “any military action cannot be justified like a situation like this.”
On Wednesday, the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that the conditions for delivering aid to Gaza are “far from being sufficient” to meet the huge needs of the “desperate and hungry” sector.
