Joint statement on the Occupied Palestinian Territories

Joint statement on behalf of international foreign ministers and the EU Commissioner for Equality, Preparedness and Crisis Management on the Occupied Palestinian Territories.

"The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths. The Israeli government’s aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity. We condemn the drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food. It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid. The Israeli Government’s denial of essential humanitarian assistance to the civilian population is unacceptable. Israel must comply with its obligations under international humanitarian law."
