UN Security Council Passes "Diluted Resolution" To Boost Gaza Aid After US Abstains | Israel Hamas

The UN Security Council adopts a resolution on Dec 22, urging the acceleration of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip amidst widespread reports of hunger. However, it falls short of demanding an immediate suspension of hostilities between Israel and Hamas. The resolution passes with a 13-0 vote, with the United States and Russia abstaining. Hamas considers the resolution insufficient, while Israel suggests the UN should prioritize the release of remaining hostages in the Palestinian enclave. The Palestinian representative to the UN views the vote as a positive step but emphasizes the need for an immediate ceasefire. Israel's military issues an order for residents of Al-Bureij in central Gaza to relocate south immediately, indicating a shift in focus for the ground assault that has caused extensive damage to the Strip. A UN report released Thursday highlights that over half a million people in Gaza are facing starvation due to inadequate food supplies since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas conflict. Israeli officials report 1,139 casualties in the Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel on October 7, including 695 Israeli civilians, including 36 children. The health ministry in the Hamas-run enclave indicates that over 20,000 people have died in Israel's subsequent assault on the Gaza Strip. #unsc #unitednations #unsecuritycouncil #israelhamaswar #israel #hamas #worldnews n18oc_world n18oc_crux CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
