The U.N. Security Council passed a resolution Friday that calls for “urgent and extended humanitarian pauses” in fighting to allow for the flow of humanitarian aid to Gaza, but does not demand a full and immediate cease-fire. Thirteen members voted in favor, while the United States and Russia abstained. Israel’s ambassador to the United Nations, Gilad Erdan, criticized the resolution in a social media post, while Hamas said on Telegram that it didn’t go far enough.

At least 20,057 people have been killed in Gaza and 53,320 wounded since the war began, according to the Gaza Health Ministry. On Thursday, a strike injured Ministry of Health Director Mounir al-Bursh and killed his 13-year-old daughter, among others, according to Al Jazeera. About 1,200 people were killed in Israel in the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas.
There are now no fully functional hospitals in northern Gaza, while just four hospitals are still operating at a “minimum level, providing very limited care,” World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said. None of the facilities can operate on wounded patients because of shortages of supplies and workers, Tedros added.
