More about the news:

The UN Security Council passed a new resolution calling for speeding up humanitarian aid deliveries into Gaza, but without the original insistence on an “urgent suspension of hostilities” between Israel and Hamas.
The United States and Russia abstained from the vote.
The Health Ministry in Gaza reported that around 20,000 people have been killed, constituting approximately 1% of the prewar population, with over half a million people facing starvation due to insufficient food entering the besieged territory amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes and ground operations for over 10 weeks.
The death toll includes both civilians and combatants, while Israel reports over 130 of its soldiers killed in the ground offensive.

What is UNSC Resolutions:

A United Nations Security Council resolution is a United Nations resolution adopted by the fifteen members of the Security Council
The UN Charter specifies in Article 27 that a draft resolution on non-procedural matters is adopted if nine or more of the fifteen Council members vote for the resolution, and if it is not vetoed by any of the five permanent members.
The term “resolution” does not appear in the text of the United Nations Charter.
Resolutions by the Security Council are legally binding.
In instances where the council fails to achieve consensus or secure a majority vote for a resolution, an alternative option is the issuance of a non-binding presidential statement. Such statements are adopted through consensus, serving as a means to exert political pressure. They act as a cautionary signal that the Council is closely monitoring the situation, with the implication that additional actions might be taken in the future.
