After intense negotiations and a series of delays, the United Nations Security Council has passed a watered-down resolution aimed at scaling up and monitoring humanitarian aid to Gaza. The resolution, which was scheduled for a vote on Friday, calls for immediate, safe, and unhindered delivery of assistance throughout the enclave and demands the release of all hostages held by Hamas immediately and without conditions. The final text of the resolution, which passed with a 13-0 vote, does not include a call for an immediate end to hostilities, a point that had been a sticking point in the negotiations. The U.S. and Russia both abstained from voting on the resolution. Prior to the vote, the U.S. had indicated readiness to back the resolution after a week of delays and negotiations, with the U.S. Ambassador to the UN stating support for the resolution as is. The U.S. vetoed a Russian bid to add a call for an 'urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities' to the draft. The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 20,000, with many casualties being women and children unable to reach safety.
