Israel's steps to let aid into Gaza fall 'short of what is needed': UN

Description

The UN's Special Coordinator for the Middle East Peace Process Tor Wennesland says Israel's limited steps to let aid into Gaza are "positive," but fall "short of what is needed." "The delivery of humanitarian aid in the Strip continues to face nearly insurmountable challenges. Amid displacement on an unimaginable scale and active hostilities, the humanitarian response system is on the brink," Wennesland tells the UN Security Council. SOUNDBITE
