floods in Gaza; The European Union demanded immediate access of aid groups.
On Saturday, the European Union asked Israel to provide immediate access to the Gaza Strip for aid organizations so that these groups can help the victims of the devastating floods in that area.
The European Union announced in a statement: "We ask the Israeli prisoners to provide immediate and unhindered access to aid groups, as well as the possibility of continuous and extensive distribution of humanitarian aid and support necessary for initial rehabilitation, and to reopen all border crossings in Gaza."
70,000 tents, where most of the two million residents of Gaza live, were flooded after the rains. Many now need safe drinking water, food and basic facilities.
