The foreign ministers of the UK, France, and Germany have released a joint statement urging “Israel to immediately re-start a rapid and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza”.
The ministers said the Israeli decision to block aid to Gaza was “intolerable,” adding that it is obligated to allow unhindered aid access under international law.
They added that “Hamas must not divert aid for their own financial gain or use civilian infrastructure for military purposes.”
The ministers also affirmed their “outrage at recent strikes by Israeli forces on humanitarian personnel, infrastructure, premises and healthcare facilities,” while urging for a ceasefire and the release of Israeli captives in Gaza.
