Rashida Tlaib and Democrats hold press conference on Rafah

Reps. Ayanne Pressley implores the Biden Administration and the international community to demand a ceasefire in Gaza during a press conference on the current situation in Rafah, Gaza, Washington, DC, February 29, 2024. Nearly 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering in Rafah, after following Israel’s instructions to evacuate other parts of Gaza. 30,000 Palestinians have been killed since October 7, and many aid organizations are warning of a large-scale famine in Gaza. Israel continues to prepare for a ground invasion of Rafah in the coming days. (Photo by Allison Bailey/NurPhoto)
