Seven European countries including Slovenia, Norway, Iceland and Ireland issued a joint statement on May 16 in denunciation of Israel which has created a humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip.

Saying that over 50 000 people were killed in Gaza, the statement warned that a larger number of people may face starvation in a few days or in a few weeks.

It decried Israel’s illegal moves to expand settlements and ever-escalating military operations for aggravating the situation in the West Bank.
