The plea follows the launching of the “All Eyes On Rafah” campaign, as ordered after a devastating Israeli airstrike in the city of Rafah in the Gaza Strip. The Sunday night airstrike ignited a fire in a tent encampment that claimed the lives of 45 people, mostly children. Health officials stated that more than half of the fatalities are women, children, and elderly, adding that the death toll might further rise because some of the injured suffered massive burns.

All children deserve safety. All children deserve peace. All children deserve life. And all mothers deserve to be able to give their children those things,” Alia Bhatt: along with the hashtag “All Eyes On Rafah.” Even celebrities from Hollywood have not backed out in their voice. In addition to Dua Lipa, actor Pedro Pascal also shared the “All Eyes On Rafah” picture. Palestinian model Bella Hadid, another very vocal activist, shared multiple updates on the effects of the bombings and pictures of Palestinian lifestyles.
In reaction, Israeli military declared the investigation of the Rafah airstrike that was supposed to target Hamas leaders but that in the process led to the killing of civilians. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared, “Despite our very best efforts not to harm the civilians, something happened that is most regrettable.”
