UN votes to demand ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages, and food access amid conflict.

The United Nations General Assembly voted 149-12 with 19 abstentions to demand an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages held by Hamas, and unrestricted access for food delivery to 2 million Palestinians. Drafted by Spain, the resolution condemns the use of starvation as a warfare tactic. It supports mediation efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to implement a January ceasefire agreement.
