Actress and humanitarian Angelina Jolie has expressed her deep concern over the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, condemning the recent terrorist attacks by Hamas in Israel. In a statement on her Instagram page, Jolie called for the immediate return of hostages and mourned the loss of innocent lives. However, she also emphasized that the attacks by Hamas cannot justify the innocent lives lost in Gaza.

Jolie, who has been actively involved in refugee work for many years, highlighted the dire situation faced by the population of Gaza. She described their lack of access to basic necessities such as food, water, and the right to seek refuge across borders. The actress stressed that her focus is on helping people displaced by violence in any context.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) recently urged residents of Gaza to relocate to the south of the strip, declaring a "humanitarian zone" in Al-Mawasi, a neighborhood within the Khan Younis refugee camp. However, Israeli airstrikes in Khan Younis have continued, raising concerns about the well-being and safety of the displaced Gazans.

Furthermore, Jolie pointed out the insufficient amount of aid reaching Gaza through the Egyptian border. She expressed her disappointment in the limited number of aid trucks allowed entry, which fall far short of meeting the humanitarian needs of the region. Jolie emphasized that the denial of aid, fuel, and water is collectively punishing the people of Gaza.

Highlighting the urgency of the situation, Jolie shared that she has personally supported the work of Doctors Without Borders and encouraged her followers to take action to prevent civilian casualties and save lives. Doctors Without Borders, also known as Médecins Sans Frontières, has called for the protection of medical facilities, staff, and civilians across the Gaza Strip.

As the Israeli-Palestinian conflict continues to escalate, Jolie's statement serves as a passionate plea for humanitarian aid and the protection of innocent lives in Gaza. Her advocacy and support for organizations like Doctors Without Borders reflect her dedication to alleviating the suffering caused by violent conflicts. The international community and decision-makers are urged to take note of Jolie's call to action and work towards finding a peaceful resolution to the crisis.

TheWrap initially reported on Angelina Jolie's statement, which has since garnered attention and support from many concerned individuals around the world.
