The foreign ministers of the UK, France, and Germany have expressed concern over Israel's blockade of aid to Gaza, stating it risks breaching international humanitarian law. They emphasized the need for Israel to ensure unhindered humanitarian assistance, particularly during Ramadan. This demand followed the expiration of a ceasefire with Hamas, raising fears of a humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Rights groups have accused Israel of severe violations, claiming nearly 50,000 Palestinian casualties and significant infrastructural damage, reinforcing calls for immediate provision of aid to those in need.
The blockade of aid to the Gaza Strip announced by Israel last week would risk violating international humanitarian law, according to foreign ministers of the UK, France, and Germany.
Humanitarian aid should never be contingent on a ceasefire or used as a political tool, the statement added, calling on all parties to uphold the ceasefire.
Rights groups have accused Israel of crimes against humanity and violations of international laws for blocking aid in Gaza, with nearly 50,000 Palestinians reported killed.
Israeli blockade at the expiration of the ceasefire deal raised fears of hunger and increased hardships for Gazans amid the holy month of Ramadan.
