Britain and more than 20 other countries have called for an immediate end to the war on Gaza and said the Israeli government’s aid delivery model was “dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity”, Reuters reports.

“We, the signatories listed below, come together with a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now,” the foreign ministers of Britain, France, Italy, Japan, Australia, Canada, Denmark and other countries said in a joint statement.

“We are prepared to take further action to support an immediate ceasefire and a political pathway to security and peace for Israelis, Palestinians and the entire region.”
