The Security Council adopted Resolution 2720 by 13 votes, with Russia and the United States abstaining. It called for urgent steps to enable safe, unhindered and expanded humanitarian access and created a UN Senior Humanitarian and Reconstruction Coordinator role to facilitate aid into Gaza. The resolution did not call for an immediate ceasefire. Humanitarian agencies emphasized that increased deliveries required sustained security, access, fuel and functioning crossings.
