Germany, France, UK Call for Humanitarian Aid Access to Gaza

BERLIN (Reuters) - The foreign ministers of Germany, France and Britain jointly called on Israel to adhere to international law by allowing the unhindered passage of humanitarian aid into Gaza, in a statement released on Wednesday.

"Humanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool and Palestinian territory must not be reduced nor subjected to any demographic change," the ministers said.

They urged all parties to return to a ceasefire and called on Hamas to immediately release the remaining hostages.
