This report from our russia editor, steve rosenberg. Russias democracy is the best in the world, the kremlin says.

Humanitarian organisations are co ordinating a delivery of about 200 tonnes of food and medical supplies, which will go via a maritime corridor with israels agreement. But its unclear how or where the boat will actually dock, and even if the aid does arrive, some groups are warning of problems in distributing the aid across gaza. Wyre davies reports from jerusalem.
