UN Security Council prepares to vote again on Gaza ceasefire

Latest UN Security Council vote on Gaza follows visit to Israel by US secretary of state.

Later today the UN Security Council is due to vote on a draft resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza for the month of Ramadan, leading to a permanent ceasefire. The resolution also demands the immediate and unconditional release of Israeli hostages. This follows Friday's vote when China and Russia vetoed a US draft resolution for an immediate ceasefire. We speak to a senior UN official, Jamie McGoldrick, who has just returned from Gaza.
