The United Nations Security Council holds a meeting on Gaza crisis at the UN headquarters in New York, the United States, January 6, 2009. The meeting aims to intensify the international diplomatic drive to push for an early end to the ongoing assault. Arab countries presented a draft resolution to the 15-nation council, calling for an immediate end to the conflict, which has reportedly killed more than 570 Palestinians and wounded some 2,700 others as it moved into its 11th day on Tuesday.
