"UN Security Council delays aid vote as Gaza death toll exceeds 20,000"

The death toll in Gaza has surpassed 20,000, including 8,000 children and 6,200 women, since Israel began its bombardment over 10 weeks ago. The UN Security Council has postponed a vote on boosting humanitarian aid for Gaza for the third time to avoid a US veto. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called for a shift to more targeted Israeli operations, focusing on dealing with Hamas leadership and the tunnel network. Air strikes continue in Gaza, with at least 46 people killed in Israeli attacks on the Jabalia refugee camp. The UN Security Council vote is now scheduled for Thursday.
