The EU's foreign policy chief has appeared to criticise the one-month timeframe the US has given Israel to improve aid access in Gaza, saying "too many people" will die in the region in that time.
As we've been reporting, the US sent a letter on Sunday telling Israel it had 30 days to boost aid access in Gaza, or it would risk losing some US military assistance.
Speaking to reporters earlier ahead of an EU leaders' summit in Brussels, Josep Borrell said: "The US has been saying to Israel that they have to improve humanitarian support to Gaza, but they gave one month delay."
"One month delay at the current pace of people being killed. It's too many people," he added.
