A joint statement from 28 nations has demanded an end to the war in Gaza and the release of Israeli hostages. The statement says the ‘suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths’, meaning it is worse than ever.
More than 100 aid agencies say mass starvation is spreading across Gaza.
Over 59,000 have been killed since Israel launched its offensive after the Hamas-led attacks on 7 October 2023, according to Gaza’s health ministry, run by Hamas.
Israel has rejected the criticism in the joint statement from the 28 countries as being ‘disconnected from reality’.
