In a call to action published on 24 September 2026, the governments of Australia, Denmark, Egypt, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the UK reaffirmed support for implementing UN Security Council Resolution 2803 and pressed for full delivery of humanitarian assistance in Gaza at levels no lower than those agreed on 19 January 2025.
The statement said Gaza's health sector has been decimated, with no fully functioning hospital and widespread shortages of fuel and basic equipment. It said at least 43,000 people face life-changing disabilities without access to specialised care, prosthetics and rehabilitation, and that since 2023 there have been at least 920 attacks on facilities and staff, with over 1,700 health workers killed.
The signatories identified Israeli restrictions on aid entry and construction materials as the biggest barrier to a functioning health service, and called on Israel to allow rapid, unimpeded access through all crossings, ease quotas and inspections, approve critical and so-called dual-use items, restore medical referrals to East Jerusalem and West Bank hospitals, and protect health workers and facilities. They also committed to supporting winter preparations and efforts to restore essential health services.
