Josep Borrell, the head of EU foreign policy, claimed that Israel was using malnutrition as a “weapon of war” and described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as “not a natural disaster.” Borrell declared at the UN Security Council on Tuesday, “This is a man-made crisis.” “We must remember this when we search for alternate means of supplying support by air or sea: starvation is being used as a weapon of mass destruction, and the natural means of supplying support to roads is being closed, albeit artificially closed.” In an attempt to provide a sea route for the desperately required delivery of relief to the war-torn Palestinian enclave, a Spanish humanitarian boat carrying food to Gaza departed Cyprus.
