We’re getting reports that the UN Security Council vote on the draft resolution demanding an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza will be delayed.

The 15-member body had been due to vote on the resolution on Friday morning in New York but Reuters cited diplomats as saying that it had now been postponed until 5:30pm local time (22:30 GMT).

The council is still due to meet and be addressed by the UN chief about the situation in Gaza at 15:00 GMT.
