The EU is demanding that Israel allow emergency aid into Gaza after flooding hit the war-torn territory, the Union said in a press release.

The UN estimates that around 82 percent of all buildings in Gaza have been damaged during the war and that almost the entire population needs shelter.

The situation has worsened significantly after tents were flooded by strong winds and heavy rain that swept through Gaza.

“We call on Israel to allow immediate and unhindered access for humanitarian aid,” the EU said in a press release, while also urging Israel to open all border crossings into Gaza.

“Israel must enable the work carried out by the UN, its agencies and other humanitarian organizations.”
