American showbiz figures including Selena Gomez and Jennifer Lopez have come together to address an open letter to President Joe Biden, appealing for an immediate ceasefire in ongoing conflict in Gaza.

Hollywood's celebrities have joined forces to call for an end to escalating violence in Gaza Strip, which has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties due to Israeli airstrikes. Letter titled 'Artists 4 Ceasefire,' signed by numerous singers, actors, comedians and prominent figures from Hollywood implored Biden administration to promptly advocate for and assist in achieving ceasefire, putting an end to airstrikes in Gaza. Letter stated, "Half of Gaza's population, which numbers two million, consists of children and over two-thirds are refugees and their offspring who have been compelled to leave their homes. It is imperative that humanitarian aid be permitted to reach them." Letter noted, "At time of writing, over past 12 days, more than 6,000 bombs have been fired in Gaza, resulting in tragic loss of one child's life every 15 minutes."
