The United Nations Security Council passed a resolution to increase humanitarian aid to Gaza without demanding an immediate ceasefire. UN Secretary-General António Guterres expressed hope that the resolution may improve aid delivery but emphasized that a humanitarian ceasefire is crucial to address the desperate needs of people in Gaza. The resolution was criticized by global organizations for not calling for an immediate cessation of hostilities. The resolution's original language calling for an urgent cessation of hostilities was weakened to avoid a potential US veto.
