Leaders from Sweden, Finland and Denmark express growing frustration over the humanitarian aid crisis in Gaza, calling on Israel to immediately ensure the flow of assistance into the enclave.

Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson announces that Sweden’s foreign ministry intends to summon Israel’s ambassador in Stockholm over the issue.

Meanwhile, Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo urges international pressure on Israel, saying the country “must ensure immediate access for humanitarian aid.”

Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen echoes the criticism, calling the current situation “unacceptable.”
