The U.N. Security Council ended a four-hour emergency meeting early Sunday with a call for an immediate halt of hostilities and a re-opening of border crossings to allow humanitarian supplies to reach Palestinians in Gaza. CNN quoted a Palestinian envoy as saying that if Israel does not cease attacks within 48 hours, Arab delegations will demand stronger action from the Security Council. Israel did give in to requests from the Red Cross and others to allow 16 trucks loaded with fuel, food and medical supplies to pass into Gaza through the Kerem Shalom crossing Sunday morning.
