Israeli forces are killing or injuring a child in Gaza every ten minutes. And only 58 members of Congress think that's a problem.

We are closely monitoring the Israeli military incursion into Nour Shams refugee camp, near Tulkarem in the northern occupied West Bank, which has been ongoing for more than 50 hours. Initial information indicates Israeli forces have killed four Palestinian children so far.
