German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock has called on Israel to swiftly implement plans to reopen the Erez land crossing and port of Ashdod to allow more aid into Gaza. Baerbock emphasized the urgent need for aid in Gaza, stating that there are 'no more excuses' for delaying the process.
The reopening of both crossings is expected to take place this weekend, as reported by CNN. US President Joe Biden also joined the efforts by urging Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to facilitate the entry of additional aid into Gaza during a recent phone call.
The situation in Gaza remains critical, with the people in need of immediate assistance. Baerbock's plea highlights the importance of ensuring that aid reaches those who require it most in a timely manner.
