UN Security Council adopts resolution for ‘humanitarian pauses' in Gaza

The UN Security Council has passed a resolution calling for 'urgent and extended humanitarian pauses and corridors throughout the Gaza Strip' to allow for aid delivery and medical evacuations, after four failed attempts to respond to the Israel-Hamas war.

The resolution, introduced by Malta on Wednesday, also called for “corridors throughout the Gaza Strip for a sufficient number of days” to safeguard civilians, particularly children, ambassador Vanessa Frazier told the Council.
