[ [link removed] ]Ayanna Pressley for Congress

Parents know the panicked feeling of
fumbling for a bottle to settle a fussy baby in the middle of the night.
But imagine if a military blockade stood between you and the formula your
baby desperately needed. Imagine if you had nothing to offer them to
soothe their hungry cries. That is the daily reality for families in Gaza
right now.

Critical humanitarian aid — food, water, and baby formula sits at the
border under Israeli military control while families are starving. Just
days ago, the United Nations affirmed what we have known — people in Gaza
are at critical risk of death by starvation.

The famine has reached an unprecedented level of crisis. And infants and
children are particularly susceptible to starvation. Babies need formula
or breast milk as their primary food source for their first year of life.
Food is so hard to come by in Gaza, few mothers have access to the
nutrition needed to sustain breastfeeding, rendering formula the only
option for infant survival.

This is a man-made crisis. This is starvation as a weapon of war. This is
a genocide unfolding before our eyes in real time.

Today I led over 100 of my Congressional colleagues in calling on
Secretary Rubio to urgently use the full authority and leverage of the
United States government to pressure the Israeli government and
immediately surge humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and ready to feed
formula to Gaza.

[ [link removed] ]We need to demonstrate strong public pressure for this. Sign on here to
join us in calling on Secretary Rubio to take immediate action to surge
baby formula to families in Gaza and end this crisis.

We have seen the images captured by brave journalists in Gaza, children
and elders alike starving, thousands killed by Israeli airstrikes,
survivors crying out for mercy.

Peace is possible. A just world is possible. And I will not let up. Our
humanity is at stake and our destinies are tied.

In solidarity,

Ayanna
