Angelina slams leaders for giving Israel a free passAngelina then addressed the international community, condemning the unfolding atrocities against 'millions of Palestinian civilians'. She wrote, "While the world watches and with the active support of many governments, millions of Palestinian civilians – children, women, families – are being collectively punished and dehumanized, all while being deprived food, medicine and humanitarian aid against international law. By refusing to demand a humanitarian ceasefire and blocking the UN Security Council from imposing one on both parties, world leaders are complicit in these crimes."
Angelina shares details of Jabalia refugee campThe actor shared a picture of Jabalia devastated in the aftermath of Israel’s airstrike, followed by a brief description of the refugee camp by UNRWA, UN agency of relief for Palestinian refugees. It read, “Jabalia refugee camp is the largest of the Gaza Strip’s eight refugee camps. After the 1948 war, refugees settled in the camp, most having fled from villages in southern Palestine. The camp covers an area of only 1.4 square kilometres. 116,011 Palestinian refugees are registered with UNRWA in Jabalia camp alone, 75 years since the 1948 conflict."
In an earlier post, Angelina had said that Hamas's terrorist attacks in Israel ‘cannot justify the innocent lives lost’ in Gaza.
