French President Emmanuel Macron reaffirmed on Friday that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza was unacceptable, and said he hoped to discuss the matter soon with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and U.S. President Donald Trump.
"The humanitarian situation in Gaza is intolerable," Macron told reporters, as he attended a meeting of European leaders in Albania.
"We are reaching a level that we have never seen before, in terms of the humanitarian impact, since the beginning of this," said Macron.
Macron said the priority was on getting a ceasefire in the fighting between Israel and Hamas, and restoring access to humanitarian aid.
"I will have the opportunity to speak about this with Prime Minister Netanyahu and I have also raised the matter with President Trump," he said.
Trump, who ended a Middle East tour on Friday with no apparent progress towards a new ceasefire as Israel steps up its military campaign, has acknowledged Gaza's growing hunger crisis and the need for aid deliveries.
