Britain, France and Canada called the Israeli plans for escalation “disproportionate” and “egregious” at a time when the U.N. is warning the population is at risk of famine.

France said the amount of aid Israel is allowing into Gaza is “totally insufficient,” as a U.N. official said aid trucks were yet to reach those in need.

Israel launched a new devastating ground offensive in Gaza over the weekend just as US President Donald Trump departed the region without sealing a ceasefire and hostage deal.
