Angelina Jolie recently shared a statement on social media where she condemned Hamas terrorist attack in Israel. According to her, one cannot justify the innocent lives lost in Gaza.
Check out her post here:
She wrote, 'Like millions around the world I have spent the last weeks sick and angry at the terrorist attack in Israel, the death of so many innocent civilians, and wondering how best to help.'
“I too am praying for the immediate, safe return of every hostage, and for the families who carry the unimaginable pain of a murder of a loved one,” she said, but later added that the Hamas terrorist attacks in Israel “cannot justify the innocent lives lost” in Gaza.
Jolie continued by writing that the population of Gaza “has nowhere to go, no access to food or water, no possibility of evacuation, and not even the basic human right to cross a border to seek refuge.”
Jolie, who served as a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees ambassador for two decades, expressed that her primary concern is the well-being of people forced to leave their homes due to violence in any situation.
Jolie also highlighted the limited amount of humanitarian assistance permitted to enter Gaza through the Egyptian border. She mentioned, "The meager number of aid trucks allowed in falls far short of what is required (and what used to be provided daily before the conflict), and the ongoing bombings are creating urgent new humanitarian demands each day. Withholding aid, fuel, and water is a form of collective punishment affecting the entire population."
Jolie ended her post with a call to action for her followers, writing, “Anything that can prevent civilian casualties and save lives must be done. Like many others I have donated to medical relief efforts. I have chosen to support the work of Doctors Without Borders and have been closely following their reporting.”
