The United States vetoed a draft UN resolution demanding an “immediate humanitarian” ceasefire in Gaza. The draft resolution received 13 votes in favor, one abstention (United Kingdom) and one against.
This is the third American veto since the start of the war between Israel and Hamas. Nearly a million and a half people, according to the UN, are massed in the city of Rafah, located in the south of the Palestinian territory against the closed border with Egypt. The Hamas health ministry announced earlier that bombings on Gaza had killed 103 people in 24 hours.
