If that's all the time you could spare for your research, don't expect it to be taken seriously.

Considering the effort you put into it, the results are rather expected: a search in which "help" is a key prompt yields nothing but empty rhetoric and no hint of help coming to the hostages in Gaza.

Were you to spend more than one minute and actually look through all the UN Security Council resolutions adopted since Oct. 7, 2023 (https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/content/resolutions-adopted-security-council-2024 and https://main.un.org/securitycouncil/en/content/resolutions-adopted-security-council-2023), of all the 74 resolutions and hundreds of articles contained in them, you would have only found one article calling for unconditional release of the hostages: (https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n23/359/02/pdf/n2335902.pdf), and one article demanding unconditional release of the hostages (https://documents.un.org/doc/undoc/gen/n23/424/87/pdf/n2342487.pdf).

That's it. In over 14 months, a single article in all of the UNSC resolutions demanding the release of hostages with no strings attached. That's all UN has done to help the Gaza hostages. Pathetic, even by the UN standards.

And guess what: the hostages are still being held by Hamas as we speak.
