Rome - Saba:
Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the war criminal, during a phone call on Wednesday evening, to allow "full and unhindered" humanitarian aid access to the Gaza Strip.
Meloni's office said in a statement on Thursday that during the call, the Italian Prime Minister emphasized to her Israeli counterpart "the need for an immediate cessation of hostilities, given the situation in Gaza, which she described as unbearable and unjustifiable."
The statement added that "the conversation also provided an opportunity to reaffirm the need to ensure full and unhindered humanitarian access to the civilian population."
The statement explained that "thanks to Italy's commitment, an additional 50 Palestinian civilians will be received, and aid will be delivered to the population in Gaza."
Meloni described the situation in Gaza last week as unacceptable, stressing that no military action could justify such a stance.
The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Wednesday that the conditions for delivering aid to Gaza are "far from adequate" to meet the massive needs of the desperate and hungry population of the Strip.
