WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, U.S. Representative Kelly Morrison (MN-03) joined her colleagues in cosponsoring a resolution calling on the Trump Administration to use all diplomatic tools at its disposal to ensure humanitarian aid reaches civilians in Gaza and to bring about the release of the hostages.
The entire population of Gaza, an estimated 2,200,000 people, is facing acute levels of hunger. While some food is now being allowed into Gaza, it is not being allowed to do so fast enough to save lives. Since the start of the conflict, at least 54,000 Palestinians have been killed and 120,000 have been injured.
The resolution is led by Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD-08), Bill Keating (MA-09), Valerie Foushee (NC-04), Pramila Jayapal (WA-07), and Becca Balint (VT-AL) in the House, and Senator Peter Welch (VT) is leading the resolution in the Senate with the support of nearly all Democrats.
