The resolution highlights a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where the entire population of 2.2 million people faces acute hunger, with approximately 10,000 children suffering from acute malnutrition. It notes that Gaza's borders were blocked for over two months, preventing essential supplies like food, medicine, and fuel from entering, leading to the closure of bakeries and exhaustion of food parcels. The limited aid that has recently entered is insufficient and requires immediate, widespread distribution to address the imminent famine and near-total collapse of the health system. Expressing grave concern for both the suffering of Palestinian civilians in Gaza and the plight of hostages and their families, the House of Representatives calls for decisive action. It urges the White House , Department of State , and other relevant U.S. government agencies to employ all available diplomatic tools . The primary objectives are to bring about the release of the hostages, ensure the immediate and secure delivery and disbursement of necessary food and humanitarian aid for Palestinian civilians, and ultimately achieve a durable end to the conflict in Gaza.
