UN welcomes resumption of limited delivery of aid to Gaza [SOUND]

# United Nations Humanitarian Affairs chief, Tom Fletcher, has welcomed the Israeli authorities’ decision to allow the delivery of limited aid to Gaza, after eleven weeks of blockade. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu says food deliveries would continue only until the military and private companies have set up hubs to distribute aid under a US-backed plan, rejected by the UN. The UN spokesperson, Stéphane Dujarric, says nine of their aid trucks have already been cleared to enter the southern Kerem Shalom crossing:
