Arab nations, rights groups condemn Israel’s decision to block Gaza aid

Al Jazeera  

Several countries say Israeli action violates ceasefire deal as well as international law by using starvation as a weapon. In a statement, the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it “strongly condemns the Israeli government’s decision to block humanitarian aid and close crossings used for relief efforts”. On Sunday night, Qatar also condemned Israel’s decision to block aid into Gaza and emphasised a “firm rejection of the use of food as a weapon of war and the starvation of civilians”. “We call on the international community to oblige Israel to ensure the safe and sustainable entry of humanitarian aid without obstacles,” Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said. The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs said, “The Kingdom condemns and denounces the decision by the Israeli occupation government to halt humanitarian aid to Gaza, using it as a tool of blackmail and collective punishment.” It said the decision was “a direct assault on the principles of international humanitarian law amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis faced by the Palestinian people”.
