New York, Agencies-The United Nations Security Council has voted 14-0 in favor of a resolution demanding a cease-fire in Gaza for the rest of Ramadan. The United States abstained from the vote, allowing the measure to pass. Monday's vote followed several failed attempts by the Security Council at brokering a cease-fire resolution - including one as recently as three days ago. 'The bloodbath has continued for far too long,' said Amar Bendjama, the representative of Algeria, the Arab bloc's current member of the Security Council and a sponsor of the resolution. 'Finally, the Security Council is shouldering its responsibility,' he said. The United States had repeatedly blocked Security Council resolutions that put pressure on 'Israel,' but has increasingly shown frustration with its ally as civilian casualties mount and the United Nations warns of impending famine in Gaza.
