The US-led resolution calls for an immediate ceasefire, the release of some hostages together with Palestinian prisoners, followed by the withdrawal of Israeli forces from populated areas and the return of Palestinians to their homes throughout Gaza while humanitarian aid flows in at scale.
A woman who fled her home is now living in Deir al-Baleh, in the Gaza Strip.
One Palestinian woman, who asked for her name not to be used, expressed relief at the Council resolution. “We hope that there will be a ceasefire because we are tired. We hope that the war will stop”, she said.
Her children were killed in the north of Gaza Strip earlier in the war.
All she wants now is “for Eid al-Adha to come upon us and for me to visit my martyred sons in their graves. We want to return to our homes.”
