This resolution commemorates the civilian deaths in Gaza resulting from the conflict that began with Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. The House of Representatives calls for recognition of the tens of thousands of innocent civilians, particularly children, who have been killed or injured, and emphasizes the need to view these losses as human tragedies rather than statistics. The resolution expresses concern about the destruction of homes, schools, hospitals, and infrastructure in Gaza, as well as the widespread suffering from hunger and trauma experienced by civilians. It calls for an immediate end to the killing of innocent civilians, the return of all hostages, and increased U.S. humanitarian efforts to address what it describes as a humanitarian catastrophe, noting that U.S. military aid has contributed to the weapons used in the conflict. This is a commemorative resolution with no direct funding or implementation requirements, serving primarily to express the House's position on the humanitarian situation in Gaza.
