The resolution supported by most of the General Assembly calls for Israel to withdraw from Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem within the next 12 months.
Israeli airstrikes keep hitting aid workers and shelters in Gaza, despite leaders warning that such attacks violate international humanitarian law.
Palestinian health authorities and United Nations agencies have begun a large-scale campaign of vaccinations against polio in the Gaza Strip.
The U.S. remains the only country to have stopped funding the aid agency largely responsible for keeping Palestinians alive.
WHAT'S HAPPENING
The U.N. human rights office has issued a report saying Palestinians detained by Israeli authorities since the Oct. 7 attacks have faced waterboarding, sleep deprivation, electric shocks and other forms of torture and mistreatment.
Israel is extensively violating international law, the International Court of Justice concluded in an advisory opinion separate from the Gaza war genocide case.
The move is the first time trucks have brought in aid from the pier since the World Food Program suspended operations June 9 out of safety concerns.
The warning comes as Israel's ongoing military offensive continues to block most humanitarian assistance and worsen a starvation crisis for Palestinians.
The Human Rights Council's report detailed war crimes by Hamas on Oct. 7 and crimes against humanity by Israeli forces in Gaza and the West Bank since then.
The pier also faces the challenge of whether the U.N. feels it can safely and ethically keep delivering supplies via sea route to starving Palestinians.
