LJUBLJANA, March 4, 2025 (WAFA) – Slovenia Tuesday slammed the Israeli occupation’s decision to block humanitarian aid into the war-torn Gaza Strip, according to the Slovenian Ministry of Foreign and European Affairs.

“Slovenia is gravely concerned about the decision to completely block humanitarian aid access to Gaza. This could lead to a humanitarian catastrophe, severely affecting the civilian population already suffering from the conflict,” the Ministry said in a press statement.

“Such actions are in clear violation of international law, particularly international humanitarian law and human rights law,” it added.

“Slovenia stresses that humanitarian organizations must have safe and unhindered access to the people of Gaza, who are in urgent need of assistance,” the Ministry added while reiterating Slovenia’s support to “all diplomatic efforts to achieve a permanent ceasefire, which would enable the release of all hostages and the start of Gaza’s reconstruction.”

“It is of immense importance to maintain the ceasefire agreement and to honour all three agreed phases. This will enable the alleviation of the suffering of the Palestinian people and the release of all hostages.”
