The US Ambassador to the UN, Dorothy Shea, said the resolution would "undermine diplomatic efforts" to reach a ceasefire, adding that the UN has not labelled Hamas as a terrorist organisation.

It comes amid growing concern over the distribution of aid in Gaza, with more than two million people at risk of starvation, according to the UN, after a total Israeli ban on shipments of food and other aid that lasted 11 weeks.

Aid distribution has recently been taken over by The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), an Israel and US-backed group which aims to replace UN agencies and other organisations in the region.The auction house Bonhams says the painting, made by British artist Clare Leighton, is "thought to be the only oil portrait that Gandhi actually sat for".

The portrait was made when Gandhi went to London in 1931 for the second Round Table conference, held to discuss constitutional reforms for India and address its demands for self-governance.It will be auctioned in the second week of July at Bonhams.

"This is a painting of unique historic and cultural significance. It would be great if it could be seen and appreciated more widely, whether in India or elsewhere," Caspar Leighton, a great nephew of the artist, told the BBC.According to Bonhams, Clare Leighton "was one of the very few artists admitted to his office and was given the opportunity to sit with on multiple occasions to sketch and paint his likeness".
