US senator calls on Israel to halt attacks on aid seekers in Gaza

'There are starving children in Gaza and more needs to be done to end this crisis,' says Mark Kelly

WASHINGTON (AA) - US Sen. Mark Kelly urged Israel on Tuesday to stop military attacks targeting Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid in the Gaza Strip.

"Israel must stop these attacks on people seeking aid," Kelly said on X.

"There are starving children in Gaza and more needs to be done to end this crisis," he added.

Israel has killed more than 59,100 Palestinians in Gaza, most of them women and children, since October 2023. The military campaign has devastated the enclave, collapsed the health system and led to severe food shortages.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
