TRONE CALLS FOR EGYPT TO SET UP SAFE ZONES IN SOUTHERN GAZA

Maryland Congressman David Trone is calling for the establishment of safe zones in southern Gaza by Egypt to protect civilians.  Trone is also seeking to have humanitarian corridors set up to assist civilians impacted by the war between Hamas and Israel.  Trone joined over a hundred of his House colleagues in writing the U.S. ambassador to Egypt on the matter.  They believe that the international community will provide financial help, but the cooperation of Egypt is vital to providing needed help to Gaza.
