The leaders of the UK, France, and Canada have issued a warning to Israel concerning its military operations in Gaza, labeling them as egregious and demanding a stop to hostilities and unimpeded humanitarian aid. Israel's response indicated a willingness to allow minimal aid but emphasized its intent to maintain control over Gaza. The ongoing blockade since early March has severely affected the Palestinian population, drawing criticism and concerns over potential breaches of International Humanitarian Law. The call for the release of hostages held by Hamas also intensified amid escalating violence, which has claimed numerous lives on both sides.
The three Western leaders criticized Israel's plans as "wholly inadequate," emphasizing that the denial of humanitarian assistance risks breaching International Humanitarian Law.
UN humanitarian relief chief Tom Fletcher stated that the aid trucks cleared for entry into Gaza are "a drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed."
