US VP Harris calls for 'immediate ceasefire', more aid into Gaza

US Vice President Kamala Harris called on the Israeli government to do more to increase the flow of aid into Gaza, saying the Palestinians in the enclave were suffering from a humanitarian catastrophe in which the conditions were inhumane.

Speaking in Selma, Alabama, at a commemoration of "Bloody Sunday," when state troopers beat peaceful protesters, Harris also said there must be "an immediate ceasefire" in Gaza that would secure the release of captives and allow more aid to get inside Gaza.
