                      HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN GAZA

  (Mr. TRAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to express my horror at the 
reports coming from Gaza of hundreds of innocent civilians being killed 
or maimed while they are seeking humanitarian assistance. This is a 
humanitarian crisis.
  Congress and the Trump administration must take action to put an end 
to the violence. Killing those seeking food is incompatible with the 
pursuit of peace.
  The choice by Israeli leadership to engage in military actions at aid 
sites endangers all innocent Palestinians and Israelis who deserve to 
live with dignity.
  I am the child of refugees. My parents were forced to flee because 
they feared for their own lives in their home country.
  The United States must ensure that the Palestinian people can live 
their lives in peace without the fear that they will be killed in line 
for food.
