00:00I consent to address the House for one minute and to revise and extend my remarks.
00:03Without objection, the gentlewoman is recognized for one minute.
00:06Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
00:09Mr. Speaker, Gaza is starving.
00:12Since March, Palestinians have waited for food, water, medical supplies, and nutrition
00:17kits that have not come.
00:20Instead, an estimated 170,000 metric tons of AIDS sits right outside the Gaza Strip,
00:26prohibited to enter by Prime Minister Mr. Netanyahu.
00:31Let me be clear.
00:33Since October the 7th, the return of all hostages, living and dead, has been my priority.
00:38They must be returned home to their loved ones, living and deceased.
00:43Dignity must be afforded Palestinians as well.
00:47Children must be fed.
00:48Doctors must be able to treat the injured and the dying.
00:52As of now, that has not happened.
00:53Instead, there is chaos, gunfire, and imminent death.
00:58Half of the 2.3 million Gazans soon face starvation.
01:02Gaza is at risk of an avoidable famine.
01:05Look at this photo of a young girl in her father's arms who has lost more than 40% of her body weight.
01:12That is the condition in Gaza.
01:14Look at this photo of desperately needed aid sitting right outside reach.
01:19Where is our humanity?
01:22Where is our compassion?
01:24We must bring aid, hope, and life to Gaza.
01:27I yield back.
01:28The gentlewoman yields back.
01:30The gift of promise...
01:30They say, God
01:48on his time, we must pull away.
