The United States has said that there are “serious and widespread concerns” that the current draft of a UN Security Council resolution that aims to boost humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip “could actually slow down” deliveries, Reuters reports.

“The goal of this resolution is to facilitate and help expand humanitarian assistance getting into Gaza, and we cannot lose sight of that purpose,” said Nate Evans, spokesperson for the US mission to the United Nations ahead of a likely vote later today.

“We must ensure any resolution helps and doesnt hurt the situation on the ground,” he said.
