The foreign ministers of 25 Western nations have slammed Israel for “drip feeding” aid into the Gaza Strip, as the health ministry in the territory said that more than 1,000 people have been killed seeking humanitarian relief there since late May.

Leaders from 25 Western nations condemned Israel in a statement on Monday for "drip feeding" aid into Gaza as more than 1,000 people have been killed while seeking humanitarian aid since late May, the Palestinian health ministry said. The Israeli military is responsible for most of those killings, according to Palestinian officials.

New ground and air offensive comes after dozens of Palestinians seeking aid were killed in one of the deadliest incidents in months.
