Actress Priyanka Chopra Jonas who is also a UNICEF Ambassador recently joined the global effort advocating for a humanitarian ceasefire to protect children in Gaza.
UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador Priyanka Chopra Jonas amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine recently joined a global call to address conflict between the two countries. This situation unfortunately affected many children. She shared a UNICEF Instagram post advocating for a “lasting humanitarian ceasefire for children” during the conflict.
In November, famous icons like Priyanka Chopra signed a letter asking the US Congress and President Joe Biden to put some effort into the increasing number of deaths in Palestine. They want things to calm down and for peace in Gaza. Other famous people, like Richard Gere, Hasan Minhaj, Gigi, and Bella Hadid, also agreed and supported the idea of stopping the fighting.
The conflict between these two countries also led Hollywood, to come up with different opinions. Gigi Hadid expresses pro-Palestine views, while others like Gal Gadot stand in support of Israel, creating a divide among celebrities. Whereas the global icon Priyanka Chopra advocates for peace, sharing her stance on the conflict through her recent Instagram post. After a brief pause from violence, the conflict has reignited. This has now raised concerns about more children losing their lives. Earlier over 5,300 Palestinian children reportedly lost their lives in 48 days due to continuous airstrikes. UNICEF’s official Instagram page, shared by Priyanka Chopra, highlights these alarming numbers.
This all started when Hamas terrorists launched a planned rocket assault on Israel from the Gaza Strip on October 7, resulting in the death of 1,200 people and the taking of about 240 hostages. In response, the Israeli military attacked Gaza from the air and on the ground, causing the death of more than 17,100 people. For those unaware let us tell you that many countries, including the United States, Israel, the European Union, Canada, and others, consider Hamas a terrorist organization.
