The UN Security Council has abandoned its attempt to agree a statement on the humanitarian situation in the Gaza Strip following a blockade by Israel.
Israel tightened its embargo after a sharp rise in rocket attacks from the Palestinian territory on its southern towns, leading to acute shortages.
The UN statement, which must be agreed by all 15 members of the council, would have called for an end to hostilities.
But Libya wanted language more critical of Israel than the US would accept.
