UNITED NATIONS (Sputnik) - The UN General Assembly on Tuesday adopted a resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, a Sputnik correspondent reported.
A total of 153 members voted in favor of the resolution proposed by Egypt and Mauritania, while 10 countries voted against the measure and 23 abstained.
The resolution "demands an immediate humanitarian ceasefire" and urges all parties to "comply with their obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law."
The resolution resembles a UAE-drafted UN Security Council resolution that was vetoed by the United States last week.
