Germany's Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel has said Athens needs "urgent" humanitarian aid.

He has also warned Greece is a "politically torn" country threatened by insolvency which needs humanitarian assistance from all EU member states.

However, Athens must also "put forward present new proposals that go beyond what has been presented until now," according to Der Spiegel.

This comes as the EU's economy and finance ministers have been commenting throughout the day on the rejection of bailout terms offered by Greece's international creditor in a referendum the country held on Sunday, July 5.
