Rep. Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) stated on Tuesday that she is “horrified” by “the ongoing Israeli invasion of Rafah.”
“At least 60 civilian lives were lost when the Israeli military targeted a Palestinian displacement camp on Sunday and today,” the congresswoman stated.
“Not enough is being done to protect innocent Palestinians caught in the crosshairs. That must end,” she said. “Already, Israel’s military forces have killed tens of thousands of innocent people and created a humanitarian crisis that has put millions at risk of starvation.”
She further claimed that Israel does not have a plan to protect civilians.
“We need a dramatic increase in the humanitarian aid that is going to address the starvation of the Palestinian people,” DeLauro said. “We need an immediate ceasefire to free the remaining hostages held by Hamas and preserve the lives and dignity of the Palestinian people.”
On April 2, DeLauro accused the Jewish state of an “indiscriminate bombing campaign.”
