EU concerns over Israeli escalation in Gaza

On the third day of escalations in Gaza, the EU stated a statement on Saturday in a comment on the ongoing attack on Gaza.

“The European Union follows with great concern the latest developments in and around Gaza, where the ongoing escalation has already led to a number of casualties, with a number of people killed, including civilians and a five-year-old Palestinian girl, and over 80 injured.”

The death toll at the time reached 31 people at the moment and at least 250 wounded among which were women and kids.

The spokesperson asserted, “The EU calls for maximum restraint on all sides in order to avoid further escalation and further casualties. While Israel has the right to protect its civilian population, everything must be done to prevent a broader conflict, which would, first and foremost, affect the civilian populations on both sides and result in further casualties and more suffering.”
