The European Commission has urged Israel to lift aid delivery restrictions to Gaza following a ceasefire with Hamas. Israel is currently allowing only half of the agreed 600 aid trucks daily, citing Hamas's slow return of Israeli hostages' bodies. The Commission highlights bureaucratic obstacles hindering NGOs and emphasizes the urgent need for food and other supplies in Gaza, where famine conditions prevail. The UN and World Food Programme are increasing efforts to deliver aid, but access remains limited with only two of four crossing points open.
