Bill Summary: HRES 132 (118th Congress)
HRES 132 is a resolution expressing the sense of the House of Representatives regarding the devastating earthquakes that struck Türkiye and Syria on February 6, 2023. The earthquakes, which registered magnitudes of 7.8 and 7.5, resulted in significant loss of life, widespread destruction of infrastructure, and a humanitarian crisis affecting millions.
The resolution calls for immediate and sustained humanitarian assistance to the affected regions, emphasizing the need for international support and collaboration to address the urgent needs of those impacted. It highlights the importance of providing aid through established channels, including the United Nations and non-governmental organizations, to ensure that resources are effectively deployed to assist survivors.
HRES 132 also underscores the responsibility of the U.S. government to support international disaster relief efforts. It encourages the Biden administration to coordinate with international partners to facilitate the delivery of emergency supplies, medical assistance, and long-term recovery efforts. The resolution advocates for the allocation of necessary funding to aid organizations working on the ground in Türkiye and Syria.
Key beneficiaries of this resolution include the millions of individuals affected by the earthquakes, particularly vulnerable populations such as children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. The resolution seeks to ensure that these groups receive timely assistance to meet their basic needs, including shelter, food, and medical care.
While HRES 132 does not authorize specific funding levels, it serves as a formal expression of congressional support for relief efforts and encourages the allocation of resources as needed. The resolution was agreed to without objection, indicating bipartisan support for the humanitarian response to this crisis. The motion to reconsider was laid on the table, effectively concluding further debate on the resolution.
