A total of 26 countries, including the United Kingdom, France and Canada, called on Monday for the war in Gaza to end immediately, and condemned the "inhumane killing of civilians" seeking aid through the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation aid sites.

The foreign ministers of the countries, all members of the OECD, published a joint statement urging the Israeli government to "immediately lift restrictions on the flow of aid and to urgently enable the UN and humanitarian NGOs to do their life-saving work safely and effectively."

"The suffering of civilians in Gaza has reached new depths," the statement read. "The Israeli government's aid delivery model is dangerous, fuels instability and deprives Gazans of human dignity."

The 26 foreign ministers condemned the "drip feeding of aid and the inhumane killing of civilians, including children, seeking to meet their most basic needs of water and food."
