A coalition of 28 countries, including the UK, France, Canada, Australia, and Japan, has issued a joint statement demanding an immediate end to the war in Gaza.
The statement condemns Israel for the 'inhumane killing' of civilians and the 'drip feeding' of humanitarian aid, citing a worsening humanitarian crisis with rising deaths from starvation and violence. Western leaders have expressed outrage over recent incidents where civilians seeking aid were killed, and have warned of possible further sanctions if the conflict continues. The group calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and unrestricted humanitarian access.
Israel has rejected the criticism, arguing that it sends the wrong message and blaming Hamas for the ongoing crisis.
