Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian President, has urged the provision of humanitarian assistance, including water and electricity, to the Gaza Strip, as reported by the WAFA news agency on Thursday.

Mr Abbas visited Jordan on Thursday, where he met with King Abdullah II. According to WAFA, Mr Abbas called for an end to “Israeli aggression” and delivery of humanitarian aid to the exclave during the meeting.

The Palestinian leader also called for the delivery of water and electricity to the Gaza Strip and the opening of humanitarian corridors.

According to Mr Abbas, it is necessary to find political solutions to “end the Israeli occupation” and achieve peace.

Furthermore, the Palestinian president appealed for the release of all prisoners and strongly condemned the loss of innocent lives on both sides.
