Madrid - Saba:
The efforts of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) are indispensable with regard to the future of the Gaza Strip, the Spanish Foreign Ministry said late on Sunday.
"Strengthening the ceasefire and allowing the entry of large quantities of humanitarian aid is of utmost importance," the ministry added in a statement commenting on the recent developments in the Gaza Strip.
"Spain will support efforts to achieve stability in Gaza, and these efforts will not be possible unless the Palestinian Authority assumes its governmental responsibilities in all territories, re-establishes security and basic services, and prepares to rebuild Gaza."
The statement stressed that the Spanish government "will continue to work with regional partners and allies to promote the implementation of the two-state solution, which is the best guarantee for peace and stability in the region."
