The UN Security Council is meeting in New York to discuss the Middle East crisis exactly two months since the start of the fragile Gaza ceasefire and hostages deal came into effect.

Well over 400 Palestinians have been killed and hundreds more injured, according to local authorities. We'll have reaction from across the UN and agencies on the ground.
