Item 6: Order Paper 116/22-27 - Tuesday 9 September 2025

Motion: End the Forced Starvation in Gaza

Proposed:

That this Assembly notes with deep concern the declaration of famine in Gaza by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) with half a million people, a quarter of Palestinians in Gaza, suffering from famine; further notes the IPC's assessment that this situation is entirely man-made and the assessment by the Head of Emergency Relief at the UN that it is a result of systematic obstruction by Israel; condemns Israel's use of starvation as a weapon of war; further condemns the targeting and killing by Israeli forces of hundreds of Palestinians desperately trying to access aid through the discredited, US-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation; and calls for an immediate ceasefire, an end to ongoing genocide and ethnic cleansing, the immediate and unconditional supply of all required humanitarian aid to Gaza, the release of all hostages and the upholding of human rights and international law.

Amendment

Leave out all after 'suffering from famine;' and insert:

'further notes that this crisis is man-made and results from restrictions on humanitarian access, obstruction by Israeli authorities, and diversion of aid by armed groups including Hamas; condemns the use of starvation, hostage-taking, indiscriminate attacks and the targeting of civilians as weapons of war; calls for an immediate ceasefire, the unconditional release of all hostages, unhindered humanitarian aid under international oversight, and renewed international efforts towards a negotiated two-state solution.'
