EU seeks alternative delivery routes as it ramps up Gaza aid

The European Union will increase its humanitarian aid for Gaza by 25 million euros ($27m).
The additional funds, which were announced by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen on Monday, will raise the bloc’s aid fund for the bombarded enclave to 100 million euros ($108m). Brussels will now seek easier routes to get the aid into Gaza.
EU’s foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has suggested a plan under which Israel could suspend its military operation in Gaza in return for the Red Cross getting access to captives held by Hamas.
