UN Security Council to vote on Gaza ceasefire resolution amid humanitarian crisis
- A vote on a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire and the release of hostages in Gaza is set to take place on June 4, 2025, within the United Nations Security Council.
- The resolution comes in response to the Hamas attack on southern Israel on October 7, 2023, which triggered the ongoing conflict and resulted in numerous casualties and hostage-taking.
- Gaza faces a catastrophic humanitarian crisis with over 54,000 Palestinians killed and severe restrictions causing aid to be sluggish, diverted, and looted.
- Stephane Dujarric stated on Tuesday, 'the needs in Gaza are enormous' while only a trickle of aid passes through, with 620 truckloads mostly of food and medical supplies.
- Several diplomats believe the United States will likely block the resolution once again, given its linkage of ceasefire conditions to the release of hostages, which has implications for humanitarian aid and peace efforts.
