Sweden has initiated a meeting with Israel's foreign ministry and several European Union member states as well as others "to convey the urgent need to improve humanitarian access to Gaza," Swedish Prime Minister Ulf Kristersson said on Thursday.
"The life and health of children in Gaza must be protected," Kristersson said on the social network X, without providing more detail.
Aid delivery in Gaza has collapsed, with only a fraction of the food needed getting in and very little reaching the northern areas where hospitals say children have started dying of malnutrition.
