World leaders and international aid organizations have been issuing escalating warnings about famine in the war-torn region.
The PM said Israel has “quite clearly” breached international law through its treatment of civilians in Gaza, stating “a one-year-old boy is not a Hamas fighter”.
This landmark move came amid the snowballing global outrage over the "man-made" mass starvation in Gaza caused by Israel's blockade on aid into the enclave. Another 10 people died overnight from famine, pushing the total number of people starved to death to 111, the Gaza health ministry said Thursday, noting most of them have died in recent weeks.
Carney said Israel's control of aid distribution must be replaced by "comprehensive provision" of humanitarian assistance led by international organizations.
