European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen says a pause in fighting between Hamas and Israel will allow the EU to deliver more humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
A statement on the EC website said.
“The European Commission will do everything possible to use this pause to step up humanitarian aid to Gaza,” von der Leyen said.
Earlier, Israel approved a deal with Hamas to release hostages.
Hamas, in turn, confirmed reaching an agreement with Israel on a four-day truce.
