    ' ST PETERSBURG, Russia: The European Union accused Israel
    yesterday of a disproportionate use of force against Palestinians
    in Gaza and of making a humanitarian crisis there worse. It was
    the first time the 25-nation bloc had made such a sharp criticism
    of the Jewish state in the crisis triggered by the abduction of an
    Israeli corporal from a border post by Palestinian Islamic
    militants on June 25. âThe EU condemns the loss of lives caused by
    disproportionate use of force by the Israeli Defence Forces and
    the humanitarian crisis it has aggravated,â Finnish Prime Minister
    Matti Vanhanen, whose country holds the EUâs rotating presidency,
    said in a statement on a visit to St Petersburg. It was released
    after 23 Palestinians were killed in the bloodiest day of fighting
    since 2004 on Thursday in military operations designed to stop
    rockets being fired into Israel. '
