Washington, D.C. - Congressman Gerald E. Connolly, a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, released the following statement on reports that civilians were killed while seeking humanitarian assistance in Gaza City.

“This is horrifying. The IDF’s use of live ammunition against hungry Palestinian civilians is repugnant. Half the population in Gaza is on the brink of famine. Aid must be surged immediately and at a much greater scale to end the unfolding humanitarian crisis. The United States must use every piece of leverage to put a stop to this unending cycle of carnage."
