Mr Harris, who is attending the Foreign Affairs Council in Brussels, also held a working dinner with European minister on the issues of Unrwa (The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees) and the United National humanitarian support in the Gaza Strip.
“Finally, with the ceasefire in place, we beginning to see humanitarian aid flow, not nearly enough, but we are beginning to see humanitarian aid flow, and anything that would impede the flow of that is something that is absolutely unconscionable.
I’ll be making it very strongly here again today, and that it’s really important that the European Commission front loads the 2025 payment of, I think, about 82 million euro to ensure that practical humanitarian assistance can be can be provided.
“I also need to say, I think it’s unedifying to see attacks on UN agencies, and I’m particularly, of course, concerned about the operation of humanitarian aid in Gaza.
“We will continue to speak up and speak out in terms of supporting international law, supporting human rights, supporting a rules based order, and I think it’s more essential than ever that we have a unity in that purpose,” he added.
