The United Nations Security Council has passed a resolution calling for the provision of adequate relief to all parties involved in the Palestinian conflict in Gaza. The proposal was passed after voting on it yesterday. It called on all parties to the ongoing conflict to "allow safe and unimpeded access for adequate humanitarian assistance" to Gaza.

The resolution was raised by the United Arab Emirates in the Security Council. At first it called for an "immediate cessation of hostilities". However, in the face of pressure from the United States in the last few days, the language of the proposal has been greatly reduced. 

The resolution, which was finally passed yesterday, avoided the word 'call for cessation of hostilities' and called for 'creating suitable conditions for cessation of hostilities'.

13 out of 15 member states voted in favor of this proposal in the Security Council. Permanent members of the Council, the United States and Russia, abstained from voting. While not voting, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas said the proposal was "a solid step forward."

However, Russia expressed dissatisfaction with the language of the proposal. The United Arab Emirates also raised linguistic objections. The country's ambassador to the United Nations, Lana Zaki Nusseibeh, said, 'We know the language of the proposal is not appropriate at all. We will never stop calling for a humanitarian ceasefire.'

The Palestinian independence group Hamas attacked Israel on October 7. Since that day, Israeli forces continue to attack Gaza indiscriminately. More than 20 thousand people of the valley have died in the attack so far. 

Among them 8 thousand children and 6 thousand 200 women. In addition, the residents of Gaza are in dire straits due to lack of food, water and fuel.

Resolutions on the ongoing conflict in Gaza have been raised in the Security Council before. But none passed. The latest resolution called for an "immediate ceasefire" in the valley. 13 members voted in favor of Sebar's proposal. 

However, it was rejected as the United States exercised its veto power. And the United Kingdom abstained from voting.
