Twenty-two countries among them Australia, France, United Kingdom, Germany and Canada have co-signed a joint statement against Israel for the famine it is causing in Gaza.
Greece is not among them.
Apparently the conservative Mitsotakis government does not want trucks with humanitarian aid to pass through.
22 countries demand Israel allow ‘full resumption’ of Gaza aid
Joint statement released as the UN said nine aid trucks were authorized to enter Gaza, describing it as ‘drop in the ocean’.
Twenty-two countries, including Australia, Britain, France and Germany, on Monday demanded that Israel immediately “allow a full resumption of aid into Gaza” after the partial lifting of its blockade on the territory.
The foreign ministers of the key donor countries, who also included Japan and New Zealand, said “whilst we acknowledge indications of a limited restart of aid, Israel blocked humanitarian aid entering Gaza for over two months”.
The statement said “food, medicines and essential supplies are exhausted” and that “the population faces starvation”.
“We also reiterate our firm message that Hamas must immediately release all remaining hostages and allow humanitarian assistance to be distributed without interference,” the statement continued.
The statement was signed by Australia, Canada, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and the UK.

Mitsotakis is not interested in human rights or people. Money is all that matters to him.
