He UN Security Council approved this Friday a resolution to promote the sending of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Stripafter a week of intense negotiations.

The initiative, presented by United Arab Emirates (UAE)had to be rewritten several times due to US objections, who has veto power in the organization. Washington ultimately abstained, as did Russia.

The text asks the UN Secretary General to appoint a special coordinator to monitor and verify the sending of humanitarian aid to the Palestinian enclave, subjected to constant bombing after the start of the war between Israel and Hamas, on October 7.
