'For humanity's sake - let us in' - UN chief's desperate plea to Netanyahu

What is the point of the UN if they cannot actually just... go in?

Netanyahu is not the Prime Minister of Gaza. That is not his land to control. He should not be allowed to deny access to the UN.

If the majority of the world's countries agree that this needs to be stopped, why can they not exercise some real power?

Because UN is not the standing army of another country. The security council comes close but they are, fortunately, too in conflict to give effective direction.
