Japan's foreign minister has called for internationally-concerted efforts to halt the worsening humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip.

Kamikawa Yoko is among officials from about 30 countries, territories and international organizations taking part in the Cairo Peace Summit hosted by Egypt.

Kamikawa told the conference that the priority is to minimize the deterioration of conditions in Gaza.

She said the bottom line for conference participants is to deliver needed supplies to the people of Gaza as soon as possible, and to evacuate foreigners there to Egypt.

She also announced the Japanese government's plans to provide emergency humanitarian aid worth 10 million dollars to Gaza residents.

She said Japan is also considering further assistance to the region as needed.

Kamikawa called on her colleagues to gather strength and wisdom to secure the safety of people in Gaza, and ease the situation as soon as possible to bring about sustainable peace and stability in the region.

Kamikawa noted that Japan stands by its unwavering support of a "two-state solution", in which an independent state of Palestine is established and coexists peacefully and safely with Israel.
