US tells Israel to increase Gaza aid or risk cut to military aid

Foreign Affairs Correspondent

A trickle of aid deliveries across the border into Gaza has resumed – after the United States gave Israel 30 days to improve access or face a cut in military aid.

At today’s emergency meeting of the UN security council – a leading humanitarian official said essential supplies in Gaza were running out. Just 14 truckloads of aid actually got through to hungry residents of the strip, according to the World Food Programme.

And a warning, there are extremely distressing images from the very start of the report.
