The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is abhorrent and worsening daily. People are starving and dying, especially children.
President Trump must demand that Israel enable a large-scale expansion of assistance throughout Gaza immediately.

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.
Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.
