Pro-Palestine activists across X sent prayers to Ariana Grander for spreading awareness about the matter and further hoped that the money would reach the people of Gaza during the constant bombardment they are facing from Israel.
Eyes on Rafah and Gaza
By the time of writing this article, the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since Oct. 7, 2023, has resulted in the killing of more than 36,000 Palestinians of whom are children (not counting the ones buried under the rubble), as reported by the ministry of health in Gaza.
Additionally, at least 81,000 Palestinians since Oct. 7 were injured due to the constant bombardment from Israel leaving many Gazans homeless, displaced, and malnourished.
After being displaced to Rafah, the Gazans were forced to face another massacre because of Israel despite the area being deemed "safe" for them and free from bombardments and shelling.
