Foreign ministers from 26 countries and representatives of the European Union raised a new call for the Israeli government to ease restrictions and for the international community to ramp up aid deliveries into the embattled Gaza Strip.
“The humanitarian suffering in Gaza has reached unimaginable levels. Famine is unfolding before our eyes. Urgent action is needed now to halt and reverse starvation. Humanitarian space must be protected, and aid should never be politicized,” they said in the Aug. 12 joint statement.
