Saudi Arabia has called for strong international pressure on Israel to ensure uninterrupted humanitarian aid reaches the Gaza Strip. The demand comes as Israel continues its blockade, limiting the flow of essential supplies into the besieged territory.
On Friday, Saudi Foreign Minister Faisal bin Farhan made this statement during a press briefing in southern Türkiye. He had just concluded a meeting with regional foreign ministers focused on the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
“I demand the exercise of maximum pressure to ensure the continuous and sufficient flow of aid into the Strip,” he said.
The war in Gaza has devastated infrastructure and displaced thousands of families. Food, water, and medical supplies remain scarce. The situation continues to deteriorate with each passing day.
Meanwhile, regional leaders have voiced increasing concern over the blockade’s impact on civilians. They emphasized the urgent need to support humanitarian organizations working in Gaza. Many of these groups face serious obstacles in delivering aid due to Israeli restrictions.

Faisal bin Farhan stressed the importance of international coordination. He urged countries to take immediate steps that could ease the suffering of Gaza’s population. He also warned that inaction could lead to further instability in the region.
The meeting in Türkiye aimed to develop a united response among Muslim-majority countries. Participants discussed diplomatic efforts and strategies to improve aid access. They also considered measures to pressure Israel into easing its restrictions.
In recent weeks, several international bodies have condemned the blockade. The United Nations has repeatedly called for the protection of civilians and the free flow of humanitarian aid.
Saudi Arabia continues to play a central role in advocating for Palestinian rights. The kingdom has also maintained active diplomatic outreach with key global partners. Its efforts reflect growing frustration across the Arab world.
The call for pressure on Israel aligns with wider regional demands. Many leaders now seek concrete steps to address the crisis and prevent further escalation.
As the humanitarian toll rises, the world watches closely. Regional cooperation and decisive global action remain essential to resolving the crisis in Gaza.
