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

Israel must prove that it is keeping its promise to improve the situation in Gaza, Dutch caretaker Minister Caspar Veldkamp of Foreign Affairs said after a meeting with his EU colleagues in which they decided not to take new measures against the Israeli regime.

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.
