European powers urge Israel to end ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ in Gaza

European powers on Friday urged an end to Gaza’s “humanitarian catastrophe” as the UN food agency warned that almost a third of the people in the war-torn Palestinian territory were not eating for days. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also slammed the ‘indifference and inaction’ of the international community to widespread starvation in the enclave, calling it a “moral crisis that challenges the global conscience”.
