Bella recently expressed her deep empathy and heartbreak for the Palestinian struggle on Instagram, criticizing the lack of international empathy for the situation.
Fashion with a Message
Prior to this donation, Bella Hadid made a powerful statement at the Cannes Film Festival by wearing a dress crafted from traditional Arabic fabric, a symbol of Palestinian culture.
She described it as a way to honor the history, resilience, and artistry of Palestinian embroidery.
Gigi Hadid Expresses Solidarity
Following a Hamas attack on Israel in October, Gigi Hadid took to Instagram to express her sorrow for all those impacted by the conflict, particularly the innocent children.
She emphasized her deep empathy for the Palestinian struggle and life under occupation, highlighting her hope for a future free from violence.
Supporting Essential Organizations
The Hadid sisters' donation will be distributed among four key organizations: Heal Palestine, Palestine Children's Relief Fund, World Central Kitchen, and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).
These organizations provide vital humanitarian aid, including food and medical programs, assistance for displaced families, and critical psychological support services amidst the ongoing conflict.
International Efforts to End the Conflict
US President Joe Biden recently called for an end to the war, urging Hamas to accept a new Israeli proposal for a ceasefire.
The conflict began with a Hamas attack on Israel, resulting in tragic loss of life and kidnappings. The situation remains critical, with thousands of casualties reported.
The Hadid sisters' substantial donation highlights the ongoing need for humanitarian aid in Palestine. Their actions serve as a powerful example of using their platform to support those in need.
