Angelina Jolie, renowned for her acting career and her extensive humanitarian work with the UN, has dedicated over 20 years to aiding refugees and advocating for human rights. Her commitment to addressing global crises and advocating for those in need has been a central part of her public life. Recently, Jolie has focused her attention on the humanitarian situation in Gaza, using her platform to call for urgent action and justice.

In an Instagram post, Angelina Jolie addressed the dire situation in Gaza, writing, “What happened in Israel is an act of terror. But that cannot justify the innocent lives lost in bombing a civilian population in Gaza that 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 highlighted the insufficiency of the aid currently reaching Gaza, noting that “the aid trucks bring just a fraction of what’s needed” and describing the humanitarian crisis as “desperate.” She emphasized that “the denial of aid, fuel and water is collectively punishing a people” and called for an immediate ceasefire, asserting that “Humanity demands an immediate ceasefire. Palestinian and Israeli lives — and the lives of all people globally — matter equally.”

Jolie’s advocacy reflects her ongoing dedication to human rights and her unwavering commitment to addressing the needs of the most vulnerable populations around the world.
