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 the ongoing conflict in Gaza.
Hollywood's celebrities have joined forces to call for an end to the escalating violence in the Gaza Strip, which has resulted in significant Palestinian casualties due to Israeli airstrikes.
A letter titled 'Artists 4 Ceasefire,' signed by numerous singers, actors, comedians, and prominent figures from Hollywood, implored the Biden administration to promptly advocate for and assist in achieving a ceasefire, putting an end to the airstrikes in Gaza.
The 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."
The letter further noted, "At the time of writing, over the past 12 days, more than 6,000 bombs have been deployed in Gaza, resulting in the tragic loss of one child's life every 15 minutes."
Life in Gaza becomes increasingly unbearable, with residents facing dire shortages of food, water, electricity, and worsening conditions by the day.
The plea from these American celebrities highlights the growing global distress over the situation in Gaza, with calls for a swift and peaceful resolution to the conflict that has brought suffering to innocent civilians.
