Israel  has prevented any food or aid entering Gaza for more than two months.  The UN says around half a million people in Gaza are at risk of starvation. <\/p>\n<p>&quot;For those killed and those whose voices are silenced: what more evidence do you need now?&quot; asked Fletcher. &quot;Will you act, decisively, to prevent genocide and to ensure respect for international humanitarian law?&quot;  Mr Fletcher said UN agencies had &quot;life-saving supplies&quot; ready to deliver at the borders but were denied access by Israel. <\/p>\n<p>He decribed a new Israel plan to deliver some aid as &quot;a cynical sideshow.&quot;  &quot;It makes starvation a bargaining chip,&quot; Fletcher said. &quot;A deliberate distraction. A fig leaf for further violence and displacement. If any of this still matters, have no part in it.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>In a joint statement, five European members of the UN Security Council said that they were &quot;deeply concerned&quot; at the Israeli plan &quot;which the UN has said would not meet humanitarian principles.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>The statement, by France, Britain, Slovenia, Greece and Denmark said:  \u201chumanitarian aid must never be used as a political tool or a military tactic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Israel&#8217;s ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, rejected the allegations against his government as &quot;baseless and outrageous accusations.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Sophie Raworth presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Fergal Keane and Jeremy Bowen.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe here: http:\/\/bit.ly\/1rbfUog<\/p>\n<p>For more news, analysis and features visit: www.bbc.com\/news <\/p>\n<p>#BBCNews<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A senior UN leader responsible for humanitarian relief has said Israel is \u201cdeliberately and unashamedly\u201d imposing inhumane conditions on Palestinians and called on the UN Security Council to take action \u201cto prevent genocide\u201d in Gaza.
