UN aid says ceasefire vital

The UN humanitarian chief says a ceasefire to stop the violence in Gaza is vital because of the deteriorating situation.

Valerie Amos says in an interview in Tokyo on Thursday that the top priority is protecting civilians caught up in the violence. She calls it a “terrible, terrible situation.”

Amos is in Tokyo for a UN-organized meeting on finding better ways to deliver humanitarian aid to conflict and disaster zones in Asia.
