Israel-Hamas war live updates: U.S. pushes for temporary Gaza cease-fire at U.N. vote

What we know

• The U.N. Security Council will vote today on a resolution calling for an immediate end to the war in Gaza. The U.S. has vowed to veto the resolution, introduced by Algeria in the hopes of showing how broad the support for a cease-fire is. The U.S. has instead circulated a rival resolution, which stops short of calling for a cease-fire but calls for a six-week pause in the fighting and opposes any planned ground operation in Rafah.
• U.S. Central Command forces conducted self-defense strikes against Iranian-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen yesterday, two U.S. officials told NBC News. One of the strikes was against a mobile missile launcher and the other was against an unmanned aerial system, the sources said. They added that the Houthis had shot at two U.S.-owned ships, which had not sustained any damage.
• The Gaza Strip is poised to witness an explosion in preventable child deaths, UNICEF has warned. As many as 1 in 6 children are acutely malnourished in the isolated and largely devastated north of the enclave, according to a study by the organization. The report by the Global Nutrition Cluster says more than 90% of children under 5 in Gaza eat two or fewer food groups a day, known as severe food poverty.
• More than 29,000 people have been killed in Gaza since the war began, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. More than 69,000 have been injured, and thousands more are missing and presumed dead.
• Israeli military officials said at least 236 soldiers have been killed during the ground invasion of Gaza.
