The Palestinian presidency has urged the United Nations Security Council to vote for a resolution later today demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after UN chief Antonio Guterres invoked the UN Charter's Article 99 to call the vote this week.
The latest version of the resolution seen by AFP calls the humanitarian situation in Gaza “catastrophic” and “demands an immediate humanitarian ceasefire," along with protection of civilians, release of all Hamas hostages, and humanitarian access to the besieged Gaza Strip.
