I urge you to demand that Israel immediately lift all restrictions on humanitarian aid entering Gaza to address the escalating crisis of widespread starvation and acute malnutrition endangering countless lives. Reports from over 100 aid agencies detail unconscionable scenes of adults collapsing from hunger while critical food and medical stockpiles are blocked from reaching the enclave's 2.1 million residents. Nearly a third of Gaza's population is going multiple days without food as this man-made deprivation intensifies. As my elected representatives, you must leverage all diplomatic channels to call for unrestricted humanitarian access into Gaza and prevent this moral failure from claiming more innocent lives. The world is watching, and further willful obstruction of life-saving relief undermines human rights and dignity. Urgent intervention is required to uphold the most fundamental values of human compassion. The United States is the only country that can force Israel to end the blockade. You must show moral leadership on this issue, or forever remember that you let this genocide happen on your watch.
