Cairo and Amman have issued a stark warning over the worsening situation in Gaza, describing it as an “ongoing humanitarian catastrophe” that threatens to destabilize the region further.
In a joint statement released after high-level talks on Monday, Egypt’s Foreign Minister Sameh Shoukry and his Jordanian counterpart Ayman Safadi urged the international community to take urgent action to halt civilian suffering and ensure the delivery of humanitarian aid.
Both diplomats stressed that continued blockades, bombardments, and shortages of essential supplies have left Gaza’s population in dire straits, calling the crisis “unprecedented in scale and severity.”
Shoukry emphasized Egypt’s role in facilitating aid through the Rafah crossing, while Safadi warned that the humanitarian breakdown could fuel extremism if left unchecked.
The ministers reiterated their commitment to a two-state solution, insisting that long-term peace and stability can only come through renewed negotiations and respect for international law.
Their warning adds to growing international pressure on global powers to intervene, as aid agencies continue to sound the alarm over starvation, displacement, and collapsing medical services in Gaza.
