The Rafah operation is killing and displacing more Palestinians trapped in southern Gaza. Israel, the occupying power, has the responsibility to avoid a regional spillover and the tragedy of a new refugee crisis. Aid must be allowed to reach those in need in Gaza. #CeasefireNOW

Today in the US Congress I held positive discussions with leaders from both parties on various refugee crises. I urged them to step up peacemaking efforts, while bipartisan support for the recent supplemental bill allows life-saving aid to keep flowing to millions in need.

Together with the Olympic Refuge Foundation, I visited a shelter for Palestinians from Gaza treated in Qatar for grave injuries and other health issues. I saw children whose limbs had to be amputated because of the lack of antibiotics in Gaza. This is intolerable. #CeasefireNOW
