Jordan has condemned Israel’s decision to stop humanitarian aid from entering the Gaza Strip, warning that it could reignite the fighting largely halted since a truce went into effect six weeks ago, AFP reports.

Jordanian foreign ministry spokesman Sufyan Qudah said in a statement that “the Israeli government’s decision … threatens to reignite the situation in the Strip”, adding that Israel must “stop using starvation as a weapon against innocent Palestinians who are under siege, especially during the holy month of Ramazan”.
