The European Council, together with High Representative Kaja Kallas and Commissioners Taher El‑Mansy and Zdenka Šuica, issued a joint statement on January 6, 2026, urging Israel to allow international non‑governmental organisations to operate in Gaza. The statement notes that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is worsening, with heavy rain, falling temperatures, and limited access to schools, medical facilities, and basic supplies. It references the European Council’s endorsement of the United Nations Security Council Resolution 2803, which calls for the establishment of a Board of Peace and a temporary International Stabilisation Force. The Council stresses that all parties must facilitate rapid, safe and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian aid and that Israel should not enforce its current NGOs registration law, which would hinder essential relief operations.
