President Alexander Stubb and other Finnish political leaders on Monday called on Israel to ensure that humanitarian aid reaches Gaza, urging the country to follow international law.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced on Sunday that Israel planned to "take control" of all of Gaza, as Israel stepped up a military campaign in the territory, according to AFP.

The news agency said that after Israel announced that it would allow a limited amount of aid into Gaza, the head of the World Health Organization warned about the humanitarian crisis in the territory, and that "two million people are starving".

In a post on messaging service X, formerly Twitter, the Finnish president said that the suffering of civilians in Gaza needs to end.

"Finland demands that Israel bear its responsibility under international law and guarantee the delivery of humanitarian aid," Stubb's post on X read in Finnish.

Finnish Prime Minister Petteri Orpo (NCP) and Foreign Affairs Minister Elina Valtonen (NCP) posted similar messages on X.

On Monday afternoon AFP reported the UN humanitarian agency OCHA was in talks with Israel about resuming aid to Gaza.

"We have been approached by Israeli authorities to resume limited aid delivery, and we are in discussions with them now on how this would take place given the conditions on the ground," OCHA said, according to AFP.
