Gaza crisis is a 'man-made' disaster, says EU's Borrell

The European Union's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell said the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza was a "man-made" one.

Borrell made the comments during a briefing with reporters in Washington, and added that world leaders needed to put more pressure on Israel to open crossings and allow humanitarian access to Gaza.

Borrell made a similar call for opening crossings into Gaza ahead of a meeting with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
