Margaret Brennan: 我关注加沙地带的人道主义危机,特别是以色列对援助物资进入的限制。我希望了解目前援助物资的进入情况,以及是否存在阻碍。 Cindy McCain: 加沙的情况确实是一场灾难。目前进入的援助物资远远不够,当地有50万人面临严重的粮食不安全,濒临饥荒。我们需要大规模地增加援助,但目前每天进入的卡车数量远低于需求,而且物资的运输路线也不稳定。卡车被抢事件并非哈马斯所为,而是因为人们极度绝望。我呼吁国际社会施加压力,确保我们能够进入加沙,为人们提供食物,避免更严重的灾难。我感谢所有呼吁增加援助的人,并强调提供食物是最重要的。虽然我不了解内塔尼亚胡的具体想法,但我确信我们需要食物进入加沙。我没有看到任何替代方案,我们将继续尽我们所能,与任何人合作,只要能喂饱人民。我与卢比奥进行了坦诚的讨论,讨论了正在发生的事情以及我们可以做些什么来缓解这种情况。我们没有讨论美国在这件事中的参与,但卢比奥非常关心我们如何运作以及我们所做事情的必要性。
