London: The United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and several European countries, along with partner organizations and agencies affirmed on Tuesday that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza Strip has reached unimaginable levels.
The Ministers of Foreign Affairs of those countries issued a joint statement on Tuesday saying: "Famine is unfolding before our eyes. Urgent action is needed now to halt and reverse starvation."
Moreover, they urged the Israeli government to allow all international aid shipments intended for NGOs working in Gaza to enter into the Strip and to refrain from obstructing the work of key humanitarian actors.
The statement was signed by 27 countries and several of their partners, including the UK, Australia, Canada, France, Japan, and the European Union.
