He also proposed the need for something to be done to restore basic networks and secure essential goods to those in need in Gaza.

“It is understandable that the humanitarian ceasefire is not enough, but that it is necessary and realistic at this stage, even if it only happens in a small scale,” Mr Gerapetritis.

“This could generate a momentum for ending the hostilities.”
