I am writing to you as a concerned constituent deeply alarmed by the ongoing humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the role the United States plays—directly and indirectly—in perpetuating it. The current aid distribution model implemented by the Israeli government, including the so-called Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, is not only failing but is actively endangering civilian lives.
According to a joint statement signed by over 160 international NGOs—including Oxfam, Save the Children, Médecins Sans Frontières, Amnesty International, and the International NGO Safety Organisation—this distribution scheme has led to mass casualties and chaos. In the past month alone, over 500 Palestinians have been killed and thousands more injured while attempting to access food at militarized aid sites. This is not a humanitarian response—it is a policy of desperation by design.
Civilians are being forced to choose between starvation and gunfire. With only four military-controlled distribution points in Gaza, two million people are being herded into overcrowded, unsafe zones where they are routinely fired upon. Medical infrastructure has collapsed. Fuel, clean water, and shelter are nearly nonexistent. This is collective punishment—plainly and horrifyingly in violation of international humanitarian law.
As your constituent, I urge you to take immediate action. Specifically:
Publicly call for the end of the militarized Gaza Humanitarian Foundation distribution model.
Support the return to a UN-led aid coordination system, including UNRWA and Palestinian civil society organizations.
Demand a full lifting of the blockade to allow commercial and humanitarian goods to flow freely into Gaza.
Condition U.S. military aid to Israel on compliance with international humanitarian and human rights law.
The United States must not be complicit in atrocities committed under the guise of humanitarian response. We cannot normalize the mass killing of civilians at food distribution sites. This is not abstract policy—it is life and death for millions of people, including children, families, and aid workers.
I ask you to use your position and your voice to reject false narratives, speak out for human dignity, and help restore basic standards of humanity in Gaza.
