GAZA CITY, Palestinian Territories - The UN Security Council was due to hold an emergency meeting on Tuesday amid a flurry of urgent diplomacy aimed at stemming hostilities between Israel and armed Pa

lestinian groups that have left over 200 dead.

Tuesday's emergency UNSC session -- the fourth since the conflict escalated -- was called after the United States, a key Israel ally, blocked the adoption of a joint statement calling for a halt to the violence for the third time in a week on Monday. Hospitals in the poverty-stricken territory, which has been under Israeli blockade for almost 15 years, have been overwhelmed by patients."We have nothing to do but sit at home," she said. "Death could come at any moment -- the bombing is crazy and indiscriminate."

Rockets were also volleyed toward Israel from within the territory of its northern neighbour Lebanon, where protests against the Jewish state's Gaza campaign have been held in the border area.In the West Bank, occupied by Israel since 1967, Palestinian Authority president Mahmud Abbas urged Washington to act against "Israel's aggression", in a meeting with US envoy for Israeli and Palestinian affairs Hady Amr, the official Wafa news agency reported.
