TYRE, Lebanon (Reuters) - The mayor of Tyre said the port city could run out of food in two days and humanitarian agencies tried to get aid to an estimated 100,000 people trapped in southern Lebanon on Friday.
As the United Nations' new Human Rights Council voted to condemn Israel for "massive violations of human rights," aid workers struggled to send supplies to the region cut off when Israel bombed the last bridge across the Litani river on Monday.
"We have not received any aid since the last route was cut off. We have enough food supplies for no more than two days," Tyre's mayor, Abdel-Mohsen al Husseini, told a news conference.
"We contacted the International Committee of the Red Cross to try to set up a humanitarian crossing over the Litani river but we have yet to receive an answer."
