Demand the White House urgently deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza
I urge you to pass H.Res.473 calling for the U.S. government to use every diplomatic tool available to expand the delivery of humanitarian aid, bring the hostages home, and end this horrific war.
Why is this important?
A horrific report reveals that Israeli soldiers have been firing on crowds of hungry people at aid sites in Gaza, where one in five people face starvation.
This investigation comes as opioid pills were reportedly found in flour bags distributed by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation — a new and controversial U.S. government-backed aid program that’s been compared to Blackwater and drawn condemnation for its potential complicity in war crimes. The Trump administration called it a “bold” and “out-of-the-box” effort, but reports from the ground unveiled the grim reality: Scarcely stocked aid distribution sites, chaos, torn-down fences, gunfire, and now more than 500 people killed since it launched.
It’s clear the U.S. government will continue to play a key role in whatever happens next — and exacerbating the hunger crisis in Gaza won’t help unite the remaining hostages taken by Hamas with their families, end the Israeli government’s war in Gaza, or find a pathway to a sustainable peace in Israel, Palestine, and beyond.
If we want to save lives, we need to see more aid distributed rapidly and widely immediately. That’s why we’re rallying support for a resolution introduced by Rep. Pramila Jayapal calling for the immediate delivery of aid and pushing the U.S. government to ease the hunger crisis in Gaza.
