Israel continues to attack the Gaza Strip despite a UN Security Council resolution calling for swift action to allow more aid in.

The resolution, which was adopted on Friday evening, did not call for a ceasefire, but calls for all parties involved to immediately ensure the large-scale entry of humanitarian aid. The United States and Russia, which both have veto power, abstained.

According to Hamas-controlled authorities, several cities were attacked. Israeli military says it destroyed a tunnel complex in Gaza City.

In an attack on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, at least 18 people were killed, according to Palestinian media, according to the BBC. People in the nearby Bureij camp were told to move south.

“The way Israel conducts its offensive causes massive obstacles to the distribution of humanitarian aid in Gaza,” writes UN Secretary-General António Guterres on X (formerly Twitter).

136 UN employees have so far been killed during the 75 days that the war between Israel and Hamas has been going on, writes Guterres. According to him, it is on an unprecedented scale.
