The European Union reached an agreement with Israel to allow more aid into Gaza.

“We have achieved an agreement on very concrete terms: how many trucks will get in, how many crossings will be opened, distribution points so that people would receive help, water distribution,” Kaja Kallas, the bloc’s top diplomat, told Bloomberg TV in Kuala Lumpur on Thursday.
