France’s Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna has called for an “immediate” humanitarian pause as Israel continues to bombard Gaza with casualties climbing in the besieged strip, whose population is living on dwindling supplies, AFP reports.
“An immediate, durable and observed humanitarian truce is absolutely necessary and must be able to lead to a ceasefire,” Colonna told reporters during a visit to Qatar.
Colonna, who met with her Qatari counterpart in Doha, added that France was working to have a resolution on a truce adopted by the UN Security Council.
