UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) -At least 576,000 people in the Gaza Strip - one quarter of the population - are one step away from famine, a senior U.N. aid official told the Security Council on Tuesday, warning that widespread famine could be "almost inevitable" without action. Rajasingham said the U.N. and aid groups face "overwhelming obstacles just to get a bare minimum of supplies into Gaza." Israel is committed to improving the humanitarian situation in Gaza, said Israel's deputy U.N. Ambassador Jonathan Miller, adding that the limitations on the quantity and pace of aid are dependent on the capacity of the U.N. and other agencies.
