The UN Security Council acknowledges Israel’s pledge to open more entry points to allow humanitarian aid into Gaza, but says “more should be done” to help civilians in the besieged Palestinian territory.
In a statement, council members “took note of the announcement by Israel to open the Erez (border) crossing and allow the use of the Ashdod port for aid deliveries into Gaza, but stressed that more should be done to bring the required relief given the scale of needs in Gaza.”
