'EU chief Ursula von der Leyen says that “the bloodshed in Gaza must stop now”, adding that too many civilians in the Palestinian territory “have lost their lives as a result of Israel’s response to Hamas brutal terror”.

“The people of Gaza cannot bear any more, and humanity cannot bear any more,” she told the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France.

“We need an immediate and enduring ceasefire. We need the release of Israeli hostages, and we need to prepare for the day after.”'
