However, the international community failed to temporarily stop the fighting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. Russia and China used their veto power against the draft resolution submitted by the United States to the UN Security Council. The United Arab Emirates also rejected the draft law, which was supported by 10 members. Both members abstained from voting. The draft resolution submitted by Russia for a broader ceasefire did not receive a sufficient number of votes.
