The EU and UN address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and reiterate its support for Ukraine

European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and UN Secretary-General António Guterres addressed the urgent need for humanitarian aid in war-torn regions like Gaza and Ukraine.

They called for a ceasefire in Gaza and expressed continued support for Ukraine's fight for freedom. Both leaders committed to long-term reconstruction efforts and a two-state solution for Israel and Palestine.
