King Abdullah II of Jordan says humanitarian conditions in Gaza have reached “unspeakable levels,” speaking alongside German Chancellor Friedrich Merz in Berlin.
“Israel’s war on Gaza must stop,” he says. “The unfolding humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza has reached unspeakable levels. The images of starving children in Gaza have outraged people around the world.”
He adds that the rising levels of hunger in Gaza require the international community to act together immediately.
