"The humanitarian situation in Gaza is dramatic. It is very important to coordinate our efforts, to continue helping the civilians in Gaza, the affected population - we are talking about women and children there - with medicines, with humanitarian aid and it is very important that these coordinated efforts of the European Union, of the United States of America, of Great Britain and of all our partners in the region to lead to the identification of a solution that prepares the ground to apply the two-state solution. Unfortunately, there is still much work to be done and the humanitarian situation is one truly dramatic. Romania has helped and will continue to help the civilians in Gaza, but equally we must not forget the hostages, and Romania's position is very clear: it is necessary to continue efforts to find a solution that lead to the release of all the hostages as quickly as possible," Odobescu told AGERPRES on Sunday.
