In the draft resolution, after paragraph 13, insert the following paragraph:

"The Assembly expresses deep concern that Kobani, where ISIS was first defeated in 2015, is once again under siege after 11 years, this time by HTS/ISIS elements under the command of Mohammad Al-Jolani (Ahmad Al-Shara); condemns the long-range artillery shelling of civilian areas and the imposition of embargoes on water and electricity for heating, which may amount to war crimes; and calls for the immediate opening of the Mürşitpınar border crossing under the control of Türkiye to facilitate urgent humanitarian aid and prevent a catastrophe."
