Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Saturday expressed "shock" over New Delhi abstaining on a United Nations resolution on the Israel-Hamas conflict, saying that watching in silence thousands of men, women and children in Palestine being annihilated goes against everything India has stood for.

India on Friday abstained from voting in the UN General Assembly on a Jordanian-drafted resolution titled `Protection of civilians and upholding legal and humanitarian obligations` that called for an immediate humanitarian truce in the Israel-Hamas conflict and unhindered humanitarian access in the Gaza strip.
