Taoiseach Micheál Martin has condemned the slow trickle of aid into Gaza as a “sick joke”, as the UN warned that as many as 14,000 babies could die in the days ahead without urgent humanitarian assistance.

EU ministers agreed to review the EU-Israel Association Agreement, amid backlash against the Israeli Government’s continued bombardment of Gaza and slow release of aid into the enclave.
