Celebrities have spoken out in favour of Palestine’s independence as the death toll in Gaza rose to 436 as a result of Israel’s ferocious airstrikes in retaliation for the Hamas offensive.
As of Monday, 81 children and 61 women have died in Gaza, and more than 2,000 people had been hurt.
The most recent clashes broke out when Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, killing Israeli soldiers and kidnapping civilian and military leaders, including some foreigners, in the process.
People from all over the world have been speaking out about the attack and urging world leaders to take action while the conflict has gone on.
On social media, Pakistani celebrities including Saba Qamar, Yumna Zaidi, and Dananeer Mobeen reaffirmed their support for Palestine.
Political leaders in Pakistan also harshly denounced Israel’s “disproportionate reaction” to Hamas’s unexpected attacks on Saturday. Hamas has long fought against Israel’s occupation of Palestine.
Leaders demanded an end to the territorial dispute right away, pointing out that Israel was denying the Palestinians their right to self-determination.
