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, as reports emerge of hundreds of Palestinians killed while seeking food and water. Western leaders have expressed horror at the deepening humanitarian crisis, with some threatening further sanctions if the conflict continues. The group calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and unrestricted aid access.
Israel has rejected the statement, blaming Hamas for the crisis and maintaining its stance on the ongoing conflict.
