UN Security Council Briefed on Gaza Humanitarian Crisis, UK Calls for Aid Access

The UN Security Council received an update on the severe humanitarian conditions in Gaza, where nearly 1,000 Palestinians have died since a ceasefire in October 2025, and 2.1 million remain displaced. Despite some fragile gains, the situation is described as the 'bare minimum' needed. The United Kingdom urged Israel to lift restrictions on humanitarian aid, citing 'dual use' limitations and single-crossing bottlenecks.
