Europe Unveils a Deal for More Food and Fuel for Gaza; Israeli Strike Kills 15 Outside a Clinic
The Statesman Siliguri
|July 12, 2025
European officials reached a new deal with Israel to allow desperately needed food and fuel into Gaza, the European Union's foreign policy chief said Thursday, hours after an Israeli airstrike killed 15 people, including 10 children, waiting for help outside a medical clinic.
The children's deaths drew outrage from humanitarian groups even as Israel allowed the first delivery of fuel to Gaza in more than four months, though still less than a day's supply, according to the United Nations.
"The killing of families trying to access life-saving aid is unconscionable," UNICEF's chief, Catherine Russell, said. "These were mothers seeking a lifeline for their children after months of hunger and desperation."
