Japanese Foreign Minister Yoko Kamikawa announces $65 million in humanitarian aid for the Gaza Strip as she condemns attacks on civilians and promises Japan’s continued support for a two-state solution to the conflict.

Kamikawa met with Foreign Minister Eli Cohen and her Palestinian counterpart, Riyad al-Maliki, during her visit to the region yesterday, according to the Japanese Foreign Ministry. The aid will cover support for the Palestinians and supplies for the Gaza Strip, in addition to $10 million in emergency aid Japan announced earlier, she says.

Speaking to reporters in the Jordanian capital of Amman after her Israel visit, Kamikawa says she urged the Israeli and Palestinian ministers to improve humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip and to calm the situation as soon as possible.
