French Foreign Minister Catherine Colonna said on Monday, October 16, 2023, that the occupation's siege of the Gaza Strip is a "violation of international and humanitarian law," calling for the opening of crossings and allowing aid to enter.

She clarified in a press conference in Cairo that the situation in the Palestinian territories is serious, emphasizing the necessity of bringing aid to the Gaza Strip and delivering it to the affected Palestinian people.

She also stated: "The United Nations is making efforts to pass humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip alongside all the countries that are seeking to find a solution, and humanitarian aid must be allowed to pass to the civilians of Gaza.
