## Summary

**Urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza** is the central aim of this resolution.

It urges diplomatic action to bring about the release of hostages and recognizes the suffering of their families. - U.S. agencies would be urged to act. The resolution calls on the White House, Department of State, and other relevant agencies to use all available diplomatic tools to lift the blockade and pursue a durable end to the conflict.
