                             SARA FROM GAZA

  (Ms. PRESSLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. PRESSLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to fulfill a promise, a 
promise I made to a 17-year-old girl named Sara to share her story.
  Sara is a brilliant artist and a loving sister. She was savagely 
burned and severely injured in an Israeli airstrike, an airstrike that 
killed her two brothers, Ahmad, 15 years old, and Mohamed, 8 years old.
  Sara and her mother are currently in the U.S. seeking medical 
treatment, treatment she couldn't access for over a month as her family 
was trapped in Gaza and denied care. No child should ever have to 
endure this brutality.
  Sara's mother spoke about Ahmad and Mohamed with love. They were 
gentle, sweet boys who lit up the room with joy and loved to ride 
horses with their sister.
  What have we as a Nation done? We are supplying bombs that maim and 
murder babies. Where is our humanity?
  I carry Sara and her family with me always, and I will press for 
peace in her name.
