Australia has called for humanitarian aid to flow into Gaza and for a ceasefire to continue as Israel blocks supplies. The first phase of a ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas resulted in the release of hostages and additional aid flowing into Gaza. However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suspended aid from entering Gaza, leading to concerns about the humanitarian situation. Australia has reaffirmed its commitment to a ceasefire, the release of remaining hostages, and increased humanitarian assistance. Israel is accused of contravening international law and committing war crimes by blocking support and aid to Gaza.
