UN Security Council demands immediate Gaza ceasefire as US abstains
The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza – after months of failed attempts.
Nearly six months of Israel’s war on Gaza has left more than 32,300 Palestinians dead.
The resolution calls for a ceasefire for the remainder of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which ends in two weeks time.
It also demands the unconditional release of all captives held in Gaza.
Al Jazeera’s Gabriel Elizondo reports from the UN headquarters, in New York.
