BBC World Service - BBC OS, UN vote on Gaza aid

Today the UN Security Council is voting on a resolution about humanitarian aid for Gaza

Today the UN Security Council is voting on a resolution about humanitarian aid for Gaza.

Today the UN Security Council is expected to hold a repeatedly delayed vote on a draft resolution to bring more aid into Gaza, and try to create the conditions for a ceasefire. This comes as the humanitarian situation inside Gaza continues to worsen. We'll explain what this resolution might actually mean, and hear from people inside Gaza.

Also, we continue to follow the ongoing war in Ukraine. Over the past week Ukrainian President Zelensky has been making repeated appeals for more aid for Ukraine as troops on the ground face shortages. We'll speak to our correspondents in both Ukraine and Russia, to look back at this year's events in Ukraine, and what could happen going forward.

And, as Christmas approaches we'll speak to people spending the holidays alone - and the positive and negatives of this.
