A resolution calling for the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to address the needs of civilians in Gaza.

S. Res. 224 is a Senate resolution that expresses grave concern over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and calls for urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians. It urges the White House, the Department of State, and other relevant U.S. agencies to use all available diplomatic tools to achieve three goals: (1) the release of hostages and the protection of hostage families; (2) an immediate end to the blockade restricting food, medicine, fuel, and other lifesaving aid for Palestinians; and (3) a durable end to the Gaza conflict. The measure reflects Senate sentiment and asks for prompt action, but it is a non-binding statement of policy rather than a law or funding authorization.
