UN Security Council to vote on new resolution demanding ceasefire, aid access to Gaza

The resolution, drafted by the United Arab Emirates, demands access to the Hamas-ruled enclave via land, sea and air routes.

The draft text, Reuters reports, currently “calls for an urgent and sustainable cessation of hostilities to allow safe and unhindered humanitarian access.”

The US is looking to amend the language on the cessation of hostilities, diplomats tells Reuters.
