The U.N. Security Council adopted a watered-down resolution Friday calling for immediately speeding aid deliveries to hungry and desperate civilians in Gaza but without the original plea for an "urgent suspension of hostilities" between Israel and Hamas.
More than half a million people in Gaza - a quarter of the population - are starving, according to a report Thursday by the U.N. and other agencies that highlights the humanitarian crisis caused by Israel's bombardment and siege on the territory in response to Hamas' Oct. 7 attack.
Hamas terrorists amassed detailed information about Israeli communities and military posts near the Gaza Strip well before they launched their Oct. 7 rampage.
