Tell Congress: Co-Sponsor Rep. Jayapal's Resolution for Urgent Gaza Aid

UPDATE (June 30, 2025):

As of June 29, 2025, nearly 600 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli military while attempting to get aid near sites run by the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" – an organization run by the U.S. and Israel.1 Survivors have described these sites as “death traps,” with more than 4,186 injuries reported, half of which were children. IDF soldiers have even openly admitted to deliberately killing unarmed aid seekers.2

Tell your Members of Congress to co-sponsor Rep. Jayapal’s resolution (H.Res. 473), calling for the urgent delivery and disbursement of humanitarian aid to address the needs of civilians in Gaza. Urge them to demand an end to the politicization and weaponization of aid, and urge full, unrestricted humanitarian access to Gaza, with a priority of reinstating humanitarian aid groups, rather than private contractors like GHF.

Prior to breaking the ceasefire in late March, Israel enacted a complete blockade on all humanitarian aid, including food, water, medicine, and fuel.¹ Now, after more than two months of the current blockade, 70,000 children are being hospitalized due to severe malnutrition, and 3,500 children under five face imminent death.²

We are witnessing the intentional mass starvation of over 2 million men, women, and children by Israel. As Israel’s strongest ally, the U.S. is complicit in this horrific war crime that the U.S. ambassador to Israel, Mike Huckabee, publicly supports.³

Starving a population by blocking humanitarian aid is a war crime.

“Within one week, we will see a severe starvation,” stated Dr. Ahmad Al-Farra, head of pediatrics and obstetrics at Nasser Hospital.⁴

The urgency for food, water, and medical supplies cannot be overstated.

The actions we take in the next week, as Israel announces a new ground invasion into Gaza, will mark a turning point in Israel’s attempts to take over the entire Gaza Strip.⁵ The Massacres and starvation will become more brutal. We cannot succumb to inaction.

We have a choice. We can take action, or we can turn away and do nothing.

Join us in taking action.
