UN aid chief Martin Griffiths will travel to the Jordanian capital Amman today for talks on the possibility of opening the Kerem Shalom crossing to allow for humanitarian aid to enter Gaza from Israel, Reuters reports.

“We have said from the start we need more than one crossing,” Griffiths has told a briefing of member states at the United Nations in Geneva.

“The opportunity to use Kerem Shalom should be explored, and that will be a topic in Amman. It would hugely add scope [to the response].”

“We know that more humanitarian aid should be delivered in Gaza. We know how we could increase it, but there are constraints beyond our control,” Griffiths said.

“We know that the people of Gaza need much more from us.”
