U.S. Rep Gregory W. Meeks Statement on the Death of Kayla Mueller

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congressman Gregory Meeks released the following statement regarding the death of American aid worker Kayla Mueller:

“I am deeply saddened by the death of aid worker and humanitarian, Kayla Mueller. My thoughts, prayers, and heartfelt condolences go out to the Mueller family. I join the voices from around the world that have condemned the depraved acts of ISIL. Kayla was captured by ISIL in 2013 in Syria where she had been volunteering with Doctors Without Borders to bring medical aid to Syrians who had fled the violence and destruction of the Syrian civil war. She was a compassionate and caring person who had dedicated her life’s work to helping others.”
