Israel condemned by 25 nations over "inhumane killing" of Gaza civilians and "drip feeding of aid" as war expands

Twenty-five nations, including Britain, Canada and Japan, issued a joint statement on Monday with "a simple, urgent message: the war in Gaza must end now."

The statement by the U.S. allies and partners across the globe and published online by the U.K. government condemns Israel's tightly-controlled aid distribution method, accusing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's U.S.-backed government of the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children."

"It is horrifying that over 800 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid," said the statement, which was published after one of the deadliest days for aid seekers during the 21-month war in Gaza. Health officials in the Hamas-run enclave said more than 80 people were killed trying to access emergency food supplies on Sunday alone.
