I am writing to urge you to support House Resolution 1161, which addresses the critical humanitarian crisis in Gaza. The situation in Gaza is dire, with widespread destruction of homes, infrastructure, schools, and hospitals, resulting in immense suffering for innocent civilians. The United States has contributed to the purchase of munitions used by the Netanyahu administration, and therefore, we bear a responsibility to help address the resulting humanitarian catastrophe. H.Res. 1161 lays out several crucial points that underscore the urgency of this matter: 1 The House of Representatives commemorates the tens of thousands of innocent civilian lives lost in Gaza, especially those of children. 2 The lives lost should be viewed as more than mere statistics. 3 The humanity, pain, suffering, and deaths of the tens of thousands of men, women, and especially children must be commemorated and memorialized. 4 The killing of innocent men, women, and especially children in Palestine must cease immediately. 5 All hostages must be returned immediately. 6 Because United States largesse has contributed to the purchase of munitions used by the Netanyahu administration, the United States must do everything it can to address the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, perpetrated by the destruction of homes, infrastructure, schools, and hospitals. Supporting H.Res. 1161 is not just a moral imperative but also a demonstration of our commitment to human rights and international stability. By endorsing this resolution, you will be taking a significant step towards alleviating the suffering of the people in Gaza and promoting peace in the region. I urge you to support H.Res. 1161 and advocate for its passage. Your leadership and commitment to humanitarian principles are crucial in this effort to provide relief to those suffering in Gaza. Thank you for your attention to this critical issue, and I hope to see your support for this important resolution.
