Senate Democrats Urge Action on Gaza Crisis

Senate Democrats are pressing the Trump administration to tackle the worsening humanitarian crisis in Gaza, citing suffering and starvation in the region. More than three dozen senators signed a letter on Tuesday, urging the resumption of ceasefire discussions and criticizing the effectiveness of a U.S.-backed organization responsible for food distribution.

The letter, addressed to Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Trump's special envoy Steve Witkoff, denounces the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, stating it has been ineffective in mitigating the humanitarian crisis and has exacerbated civilian casualties around its distribution sites.

President Trump, on Monday, expressed his concern over the deteriorating situation, contradicting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's assertion that there is no starvation in the Gaza Strip. However, it remains uncertain how the administration will respond to these developments.
