No More Weapons Without Protection for Gaza Aid Workers

Another aid worker has reportedly been shot in the head by an Israeli soldier while trying to feed people in Gaza. But Congress is still sending weapons with no real conditions.

Ahmad Nasser Saleem was driving relief supplies from World Central Kitchen into Gaza when he was killed. Witnesses reportedly said his hands were raised. The Israeli military disputes that account. But the bigger truth is impossible to ignore: aid workers keep dying in Gaza while trying to deliver food, medicine, and basic survival.

The House and Senate Foreign Affairs, Foreign Relations, and Armed Services Committees must hold Israel, and any nation receiving military aid, to a higher standard. They must investigate attacks on aid workers and block more weapons from being sent without enforceable protections for civilians and humanitarian convoys.

Tell Congress: No more U.S. weapons without protection for Gaza aid workers.

Humanitarian workers are not targets. They are not enemy fighters. They are the people standing between families and starvation.

When aid workers are shot, bombed, or blocked, children go hungry. Hospitals run out of supplies. Families are left with nowhere to turn. And the human rights of civilians in war are trampled.

U.S. lawmakers cannot approve weapons, funding, and diplomatic cover and then pretend they have no responsibility when aid workers are killed. If Congress has leverage, Congress must use it.

The committees responsible for foreign policy and military oversight must investigate Ahmad Nasser Saleem’s killing, demand accountability for attacks on aid workers, and condition future U.S. military assistance on compliance with humanitarian law.

Add your name now to demand Congress stop sending weapons without real protections for Gaza aid workers and the civilians who depend on them.

The petition to the House and Senate Foreign Affairs, Foreign Relations, and Armed Services Committees reads:

“Investigate attacks on humanitarian aid workers in Gaza, demand accountability for the killing of Ahmad Nasser Saleem, condition U.S. military assistance on compliance with humanitarian law, and ensure safe passage for aid convoys delivering food, medicine, and relief supplies.”
