Families whose children have severe allergies and require special formula are in an even more desperate situation,” he added.
Earlier this week, the House approved nearly $40 billion in aid for Ukraine, including about $8.7 billion for an Economic Support Fund, $6 billion in security assistance and $900 million in refugee support services.
