"UN Security Council Delays Aid Vote as Gaza Death Toll Soars in Israel-Hamas War"

The U.N. Security Council is preparing to vote on a resolution that would allow for the safe delivery of aid to Gaza, as negotiations continue between the U.S. and Egypt. The resolution also calls for pauses in fighting. Israel's military has revealed that its forces were near three hostages before they were mistakenly killed by Israeli troops in Gaza last week. Israeli officials have sent mixed signals about the future governance of Gaza, suggesting a reformed Palestinian Authority could be involved but later clarifying that the government's stance had not changed. The World Health Organization has described grim scenes at hospitals in northern Gaza, where severely injured people are receiving limited care. The U.N. has warned that almost every household in Gaza is facing a severe lack of food and water, with the humanitarian situation deteriorating rapidly.
