Germany, France, and Britain on Wednesday urged Israel to end its blockade of humanitarian aid into Gaza, warning of “an acute risk of starvation, epidemic disease, and death.” <\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n

“This must end,” their foreign ministers said in a joint statement. “We urge Israel to immediately re-start a rapid and unimpeded flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza in order to meet the needs of all civilians,” News.Az<\/a> reports citing foreign media.<\/a><\/p>\n

After 18 months of devastating war and an Israeli blockade on aid since March 2, the U.N. has warned of a dire humanitarian situation for the 2.4 million inhabitants of the Palestinian territory.<\/p>\n

Israel has accused Palestinian group Hamas of diverting aid, which it denies.<\/p>\n

The heads of 12 major aid organisations warned last week that “famine is not just a risk, but likely rapidly unfolding in almost all parts” of the coastal territory.<\/p>\n

“The Israeli decision to block aid from entering Gaza is intolerable,” the three ministers said on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

They also criticised Defense Minister Israel Katz for “recent comments politicising humanitarian aid” and described Israeli plans to remain in Gaza after the war as “unacceptable.”<\/p>\n
