Proposal to the UN Security Council on Gaza Humanitarian Coordination

Informal Proposal to the United Nations Security Council: Coordinated Humanitarian Operations in Gaza

Published: December 4, 2025

A citizen-led suggestion for how the United Nations, the Board of Peace for Gaza, and the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) could work together to stabilize and rebuild Gaza.

Note: This is an informal proposition and request for consideration by the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). It is not an official document of the UN, the Board of Peace, or the IFRC. It is written from the perspective of an individual citizen proposing a practical coordination frame for humanitarian operations and reconstruction in Gaza.

Context and Purpose

The United Nations Security Council has already endorsed a comprehensive plan to end the Gaza conflict and has set up new structures, including a Board of Peace (BoP) and an International Stabilization Force. At the same time, the people of Gaza are facing massive displacement, destroyed infrastructure, and urgent needs for shelter, medical care, clean water, sanitation, and basic services.

The IFRC and its Red Cross/Red Crescent national societies have decades of experience in exactly this type of situation: running shelters, organizing aid logistics, coordinating relief supplies, and doing it with neutrality and humanitarian principles at the center. The idea here is very simple:

Let the United Nations, the Board of Peace in Gaza, and the IFRC work in a clearly defined partnership where the UN and BoP provide the mandate and security framework, and the IFRC brings its global humanitarian protocols and logistics playbook.

Informal Draft Resolution Text (For Consideration)

The following text is written in the style of a Security Council resolution, but it is a citizen’s draft only. It is meant to be a starting point that diplomats and legal experts could refine, adjust, or discard as they see fit.

DRAFT UNITED NATIONS SECURITY COUNCIL RESOLUTION

“United Coordination for Humanitarian Operations and Reconstruction in Gaza”

The Security Council,

Recalling its previous resolutions on Gaza, including its endorsement of a comprehensive plan to end the conflict and the establishment of a Board of Peace and an International Stabilization Force,

Acknowledging that Gaza is facing a severe humanitarian crisis with large-scale displacement, extensive destruction of infrastructure, and urgent needs for shelter, medical support, water, sanitation, and reconstruction,

Recognizing the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and its national societies as a global humanitarian network with established protocols, logistics systems, and experience in emergency shelter and disaster operations,

Determining that coordinated humanitarian and reconstruction efforts are essential to restoring stability and preventing further suffering and instability in Gaza,

Operative Clauses

1. Affirms that humanitarian relief, support for displaced persons, and reconstruction planning are central to the implementation of the Council’s existing plan for Gaza.
2. Directs that the United Nations, the Board of Peace (BoP), and the IFRC work in formal operational coordination to carry out humanitarian operations in Gaza, using IFRC emergency-shelter, disaster-supply, medical-support, and logistics protocols as a practical framework.
3. Requests that the Board of Peace, the International Stabilization Force, and relevant UN agencies support IFRC logistics and movement, ensure safe corridors for aid, and protect humanitarian sites, personnel, equipment, and convoys.
4. Authorizes the establishment of temporary displacement and shelter sites in Gaza where necessary and designates IFRC, in cooperation with the United Nations, to help manage or support site planning, services, and humanitarian operations.
5. Calls on all parties to the conflict to allow safe, continuous, and unhindered humanitarian access by land, sea, and air for UN agencies, the IFRC, and other humanitarian actors.
6. Requests the Secretary-General to appoint a UN–IFRC Humanitarian Coordinator for Gaza within 14 days of adoption, tasked with overseeing planning, site operations, logistics, reconstruction preparation, and regular reporting to the Security Council.
7. Encourages Member States and international organizations to provide financial, technical, medical, material, and logistical support to these coordinated humanitarian operations.
8. Decides that attacks, interference, or obstruction targeting humanitarian personnel, convoys, sites, or facilities operating under this resolution are serious violations that require immediate Security Council attention.
9. Decides to remain actively seized of the matter.

Why This Approach

The whole point of this proposal is to keep things simple and practical:

• The UN and Security Council provide the mandate and international political framework.
• The Board of Peace gives a focused administrative structure for Gaza’s transition and stabilization.
• The IFRC brings in tested humanitarian protocols for shelters, logistics, medical support, and movement of relief supplies, all grounded in neutrality and humanitarian law.

Instead of inventing a brand-new system from scratch, this approach leans on what already works in disaster operations and plugs it into the Gaza stabilization framework that the Council has already endorsed.
