Supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid are making headlines for their generous donation of $1 million to support Palestinian relief efforts. The sisters, whose father is Palestinian property tycoon Mohamed Anwar Hadid, have been vocal in their support for the people affected by the conflict in Gaza.
The money will be distributed among four humanitarian organizations that focus on helping children and families impacted by the ongoing conflict. Bella expressed her devastation at the loss of Palestinian lives and the lack of empathy from governments worldwide in a social media post in May.
The conflict, which began in October, has resulted in the deaths of thousands of people in Gaza. The sisters’ donation comes after Bella made a statement at the Cannes Film Festival by wearing a dress made of traditional Palestinian fabric, highlighting the history and resilience of the Palestinian people.
Gigi also shared her thoughts on the conflict, expressing empathy for the Palestinian struggle and calling for an end to the violence. The relief agencies receiving donations from the sisters will provide humanitarian aid, food, medical programs, and support for displaced families.
US President Joe Biden has called for an end to the war in Gaza and urged Hamas to accept a new Israeli proposal for peace. The Hadid sisters’ donation is a powerful gesture of solidarity and support for those affected by the conflict, showcasing their commitment to making a difference in the world.
