This situation must stop now; there must be an unconditional halt to rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel and an end to Israeli military action in the Gaza Strip. In this spirit, we welcome Security Council resolution 1860 on an immediate ceasefire," he said. "We are happy to note that humanitarian aid has gone through to areas in need. Greece managed to send humanitarian aid - 2 planes loaded with medical supplies and blood for transfusions - right from the start. More aid, coming from the Hellenic Parliament as well as from Hellenic Aid will soon be on the way. The European Union aid as a whole as well as other EU member states' bilateral aid is going through under EU coordination. But sending aid is not enough; there is a need for unhindered access of humanitarian workers too. Corridors should be open and so maintained," Verros added.
