Bone-chilling images of bloodied Palestinian children and families laden with all their worldly belongings fleeing impending doom are seeping across world, and now, Bollywood actors have joined ranks of celebrities raising their voices to condemn atrocities in Rafah.
After an Israeli airstrike sparked fire that killed 45 displaced Palestinians in what should have been safe zone, global outcry against Israeli atrocities has skyrocketed, this time with heretofore silent celebrities taking up mantle. Taking to her Instagram stories, Sonam Kapoor said, ‘All eyes on Rafah’. Other Indian celebrities who banded together to push viral ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ image on their IG stories include Ritika Sajdeh, Varun Dhawan, Kriti Kharbanda, Bhumi Pednekar, Triptii Dimri, Dia Mirza, Kunal Thakur, Nora Fatehi, Hina Khan, Swara Bhaskar and Rakul Preet Singh. Comedian Munawar Faruqui, too, felt compelled to share same image. Sania Mirza and stand-up comedian Vir Das Malaika Arora penned heartwrenching note. Israeli government has called air strike “Tragic mishap”, which seems to have proved to be wake-up call for celebrities to leap into action as images of charred bodies continue to seep onto screens across world.–Agencies
