Representatives from 26 Western nations and the European Commission are urging Israel to permit aid deliveries into the Gaza Strip, devastated by Israel's genocidal attacks and blockade.
"All crossings and routes must be used to allow a flood of aid into Gaza, including food, nutrition supplies, shelter, fuel, clean water, medicine and medical equipment," read a joint statement by three EU Commissioners – including EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas – as well as the foreign ministers of most EU countries and Australia, Canada, Iceland, Japan, Norway, Switzerland and the U.K.
Germany, an avid supporter of Israel, despite its genocide in Gaza, did not sign the statement.
"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," the statement added.
The statement also called on the government of Israel to provide authorization for all international NGO aid shipments and to unblock essential humanitarian actors from operating.
