Global Leaders Express Deep Concern Over Gaza Humanitarian Crisis

The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has escalated to alarming levels, drawing urgent international concern and calls for immediate action. China condemned Israel's military operations and called for lifting the blockade to avert a larger humanitarian disaster, emphasizing support for a two-State solution. UK political figures, including former Scottish First Minister Humza Yousaf and his wife, have urged Prime Minister Keir Starmer to impose arms embargoes and economic sanctions on Israel while recognizing Palestine, condemning what they describe as a 'live-streamed genocide.' President Trump, while maintaining strong ties with Israel, acknowledged the starvation in Gaza and indicated efforts to collaborate with Israeli leadership to facilitate aid, facing pressure from U.S. lawmakers and some supporters to do more. Both Trump and Starmer expressed deep concern publicly, with Starmer calling for increased U.S. involvement to ease the crisis. Regional governments like Guernsey have also voiced profound concern and supported UK policies calling for an immediate end to hostilities and humanitarian relief access.
