FAMINE LOOMS
Immediately after the UN vote, Israel vowed to continue its air and ground assault on the Gaza Strip until Hamas is "eliminated" and hostages still being held in the territory are freed.
"Israel will continue the war in Gaza," said Foreign Minister Eli Cohen, insisting the war was legal and just.
But pressure is growing on Israeli authorities to recalibrate the Gaza offensive.
The war began on Oct 7 when Hamas gunmen broke through Gaza's militarised border and killed about 1,140 people in Israel, mostly civilians, according to an AFP tally based on Israeli figures.
Palestinian militants also abducted about 250 people, 129 of whom remain in Gaza, according to Israeli authorities.
Vowing to destroy Hamas, Israel launched a relentless bombardment and ground invasion of Gaza, where 20,057 people have been killed, mostly women and children, according to the territory's Hamas government.
With swathes of Gaza reduced to rubble, many Gazans have been forced into crowded shelters or tents, and are struggling to find food, fuel, water and medical supplies.
The United Nations estimates the fighting has displaced almost 80 per cent of Gaza's 2.4 million population.
World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus warned a majority of those uprooted from their homes were now going "entire days and nights without eating".
"Hunger is present, and famine is looming," he said.
