The United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution calling for a humanitarian truce in the Gaza Strip.

The resolution calls for "an immediate, stable and sustainable humanitarian truce leading to the cessation of hostilities."

The resolution also calls for the “immediate, continuous, adequate and unhindered supply” of basic goods and services to civilians throughout the Gaza Strip, including, but not limited to, water, food, medical supplies, fuel and electricity.

The resolution calls for immediate, full, sustainable, safe and unimpeded humanitarian access to Gaza.

The resolution was adopted after receiving 120 votes in favour, 14 against, and 45 abstentions.

An amendment to the draft resolution, submitted by Canada, was not adopted because it did not receive the necessary two-thirds majority of votes.

The amendment would have condemned the October 7 attack on Israel and Hamas's hostage-taking, and would have called for the hostages to be released.
