A House resolution is the House speaking for itself: stating a position, honouring someone, or setting its own rules. Adopting it is the whole process. Once the House agrees to it, it is officially the House's word; it is not a law, so the Senate and the President have no part in it.

What this bill would do

This resolution calls for the urgent delivery and disbursement of humanitarian aid to assist civilians in Gaza. It highlights that approximately 2,200,000 people are facing acute hunger and notes that many children are suffering from acute malnutrition. The text describes the closure of borders that prohibited the entry of essential supplies like food, medicine, and fuel. It also notes the closure of bakeries due to a lack of flour and cooking fuel. Finally, the resolution calls on the U.S. government to use diplomatic tools to secure the release of hostages and ensure the delivery of aid.
