UN passes resolution calling for Gaza ceasefire

The United Nations General Assembly has overwhelmingly passed a resolution calling for an immediate and unconditional ceasefire in the Gaza Strip. 158 members voted in favor of the resolution, nine against it and 13 abstained . The ceasefire declaration is being seen as a gesture, as it has been rejected by the United States and Israel .

The council also approved another resolution supporting the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, UNRWA . This comes amid a situation in which 42 Palestinians were martyred and dozens of others were injured in yesterday's dawn attacks carried out by the Zionist regime on the Gaza Strip .

The 14th month of the Zionist regime's genocide against the people of Gaza is coming to an end, and bomb attacks in different parts of the Strip continue with dozens of Gazans being martyred and injured every day .

With the approach of the harsh winter, concerns have increased because the Zionist regime is preventing the delivery of humanitarian aid, especially warm clothing. With the arrival of winter, life has become especially difficult for people who have been forced to flee their homes and who are living in tents .
