LONDON, July 22 (Xinhua) — Twenty-eight countries and the European Union's Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management issued a joint statement on Monday condemning Israel for the suffering of civilians in Gaza.
"The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. We condemn the crumbs that are being sent as aid and the inhumane killing of civilians," the statement said. "It is appalling that more than 800 Palestinians have been killed while asking for aid," the document noted.
"The Israeli government's refusal to provide essential humanitarian assistance to civilians is unacceptable. Israel must uphold its obligations under international humanitarian law," the statement added, calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza.
The parties also called on the Israeli government “to immediately lift restrictions on aid and urgently allow the UN and humanitarian NGOs to carry out their life-saving work safely and effectively.”
Signed by the foreign ministers of Britain, France, Italy, Canada, Japan and other Western countries, the statement also opposes any attempts to change the territorial or demographic status of the occupied Palestinian territories.
In response, the Israeli Foreign Ministry dismissed the statement as “out of touch with reality” and accused Hamas of being “the only party responsible for the lack of an agreement on the release of hostages and a ceasefire.” –0–
