UN says only ‘crumbs’ of aid going into Gaza

UN agencies have warned that civilians in Gaza are facing an ever more desperate situation after three weeks of Israeli siege and bombardment. Aid trucks that have been allowed in through an Egyptian crossing point so far have provided only "crumbs", says UNRWA (the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees) chief Phillippe Lazzarini. Also in the programme: Former premier Li Keqiang has died of a heart attack aged 68; and scientists say they have found evidence that some chimpanzees go through menopause in the wild.
