The EU has negotiated a "significant" improvement of humanitarian aid access into Gaza, including an increase of food trucks, and an agreement to "protect the lives of aid workers", High Representative Kaja Kallas announced on Thursday.
The steps agreed include delivery of "substantial" food and non-food items to enter Gaza, the reopening of crossings through Jordanian and Egyptian aid routes and enabling the distribution of food supplies through bakeries and public kitchens throughout the enclave, according to a statement released by Kallas.
