UN official says Israel cooperating much more in the past week
-
UNITED NATIONS The United Nations was slated to assess on March 7 how it can use an Israeli military road bordering the Gaza Strip to deliver aid to hundreds of thousands of desperate civilians in the north of the Palestinian enclave, a senior UN aid official said.
The UN has warned that at least 576,000 people in Gaza - one-quarter of the population - are on the brink of famine.
Mr Jamie McGoldrick, UN aid coordinator for the occupied Palestinian territories, said the UN had been pushing Israel for weeks to use the Gaza border fence road and had received much more cooperation from Israel in the past week.
Palestinian officials say more than 100 people were killed on Feb 29 trying to reach an aid convoy near Gaza City, most of them shot by Israeli troops.
Israel's military, which had been overseeing the private aid deliveries, said most of them died in a stampede.
