The EU weighs in
From a Paris paper -
"The European Union (EU) criticized the Israeli incursion into Gaza this week as a violation of international law. Louis Michel, the EU's aid chief, called upon Jerusalem "to respect their international obligations and ensure a humanitarian space for the delivery of vital relief." Michel underscored that "blocking access to people who are suffering and dying" forms a breach of "humanitarian law" as does the infliction itself of high number--some 500--of civilian casualties.
The Israeli Defense Force (IDF) has not respected international humanitarian aid efforts during its war on Gaza, given that only one crossing into Gaza is open and a naval blockade remains in place. The latter has been ongoing for eighteen months."
