                          AID FOR PALESTINIANS

  (Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I could not help, with my good friend 
and colleague eloquently speaking about the children and the pain, to 
rise to the floor today, having just stood on the grounds of the United 
States Capitol, wondering why we have not been able to pass the $95 
billion that would aid in the crises in Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, the 
southern border that they left out, and Gaza.
  I rise today to associate and agree that we must have humanitarian 
aid for the Palestinians, for the children, for Gaza, and we must have 
it now.
  This is no room to leave out these precious souls and to continue to 
leave them without homes, without food, without clothing, without 
refuge. It is clear that I stand today for aid to the Palestinians and 
humanitarian relief for the children.
  I finish, Mr. Speaker, by saying it is important that the President 
gave TPS to those Palestinians who cannot return home. Let us bring 
humanitarian relief to human beings and to these children, and I know 
we can do this together as a Congress. Let's do it now.
