The failure by world do**rs to deliver billions of dollars of aid to rebuild Gaza is jeopardizing efforts to avoid a new flareup in the Palestinian territory, a senior UN official warned Wednesday. UN political affairs chief Jeffrey Feltman told the Security Council that do**rs who had promised $5.4 billion to the Palestinians at the Cairo conference four months ago "have yet to fulfill the vast majority of their pledges." "This is, quite frankly, unacceptable, and can**t continue if we hope to avoid a**ther escalation in Gaza," Feltman told the 15-member council during a meeting on the Middle East. Gaza was devastated by the 50-day war in July and August that left 2,200 dead on the Palestinian side and 73 on the Israelis side, while 100,000 Gazans lost their homes. The delivery of construction material is heavily controlled by the United Nations and Israel to prevent supplies from falling into the hands of extremists.
