The European Union is seeking updates from Israel on implementation of a new deal to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza, the bloc's top diplomat said Tuesday. Foreign ministers from the EU's 27-member nations were meeting in Brussels in the wake of a new aid deal for Gaza,

Details of the deal remain unclear, but EU officials have rejected any cooperation with the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund over ethical and safety concerns. Opening more border crossings and allowing more aid trucks into Gaza is the priority, but officials say eventually they’d like to set up a monitoring station at Kerem Shalom crossing.

Famine looms in Gaza and strikes kill at least 30 Palestinians, but EU states remain divided over how to tackle Israel.
