The UN on Sunday welcomed an Israeli decision to "pause" fighting around a south Gaza route daily for aid deliveries, but urged more "concrete measures" to unblock the humanitarian response in the Palestinian territory.

"We welcome this announcement," UN aid agency spokesperson Jens Laerke said in an email to AFP, noting though that "this has yet to translate into more aid reaching people in need."
