A coalition of 28 countries, including the UK, France, Canada, Australia, and Japan, has issued a joint statement calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza.
The statement condemns Israel's 'inhumane killing' of civilians and criticizes the 'drip feeding' of humanitarian aid, which has left much of Gaza's population starving and desperate. Western leaders warn that the suffering of civilians has reached 'new depths,' with reports of mass starvation and over 1,000 deaths among those seeking aid. The EU and several foreign ministers have threatened further action or sanctions if Israel does not comply with its humanitarian pledges.
Despite mounting international pressure, Israel has rejected the calls, while the US has notably refrained from joining the criticism.
