The European Commission believes that global law has been violated during the siege of Gaza

European Commissioner for Crisis Management Janez Lenarčič said Spanish paper Paisthat global law was violated during the siege of Gaza.

"Yes, it can be expressed in various ways: this is not in accordance with global law," he said, commenting on a writer who stated that global law had been violated during the siege of the Gaza Strip.

According to Lenarčic, the blockade of the Gaza Strip has only been partially mitigated by resumption of water and fuel supplies, "which are insufficient for humanitarian needs".

He besides expressed hope that the ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and the Palestinian Hamas movement would let for a crucial increase in humanitarian aid supplies to the Gaza Strip.

United Nations advanced Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk said in October that the imposition of a blockade that deprives the civilian population of basic means of surviving is prohibited by global law and may be equivalent to a collective punishment.

The four-day truce between the Israeli army and the Palestinian Hamas movement ruling in the Gaza Strip began Friday morning at 07:00 local time. So far, the parties have not accused each another of violating the truce.

Israel was struck by an unprecedented rocket attack from the Gaza Strip on 7 October as part of Operation Al-Aksa Flood, announced by the military wing of the Palestinian Hamas movement. Organization fighters then infiltrated border areas in confederate Israel, where they opened fire on both military and civilian, and besides took over 200 hostages. According to the latest data, about 1.4 1000 people were killed in Israel, including civilians, soldiers, foreigners and workers, and more than 5,000 were injured.

The number of people killed in the Gaza Strip since the beginning of the Israeli attacks has exceeded 14.8 1000 people, more than 36,000 have suffered.

The Palestinian-Israeli conflict related to the territorial interests of the parties has been a origin of tension and hostility in the region for many decades.
