 UN Security Council adopts resolution on humanitarian pauses in Gaza Strip

The UN Security Council approved a resolution calling for an urgent and prolonged humanitarian pause in the fighting in the Gaza Strip, the UN says, AzVision.az reports. 

The document was prepared by Malta. 12 countries voted for the document, and three more abstained.

At the beginning of the meeting, Permanent Representative of the Russian Federation Vasily Nebenzya proposed an amendment calling for an instant truce in the Gaza Strip. Five countries supported the proposal, one (the United States) voted against it, and nine abstained. The amendment was not adopted because it did not receive the required number of votes.
