Greece working with UN to send aid to Gaza

Greece is working with the United Nations and other countries to send humanitarian aid to Gaza as soon as possible and ensure it reaches those who need it most, Health Minister Michalis Chrysochoidis told Parliament on Thursday, in a session attended by Palestinian Authority Ambassador Yussef Dorkhom.

The minister added that there should be both humanitarian corridors and humanitarian pauses in the war in support of Gaza civilians. The scenes being reported by the media from Gaza are terrible and inhumane, he said, with thousands of people, especially children, losing their lives.

The presence of Ambassador Dorkhom in Parliament was welcomed by representatives of SYRIZA, PASOK, the Greek Communist Party and Niki.

In the meantime, Course of Freedom party leader Zoe Konstantopoulou met with the Palestinian envoy at her office to express her party’s condemnation of attacks on hospitals, medical staff and ambulances in Gaza, and to call for a humanitarian corridor to Gaza. [AMNA]
