Gigi Hadid And Bella Hadid Compact Donations Of IDR 16 Billion For Palestine

JAKARTA - Two of Gigi and Bella Hadid's supermodels donated US$1 million or equivalent to Rp16 billion to Palestine.

The BBC reported that they contributed to four humanitarian organizations focused on children and families affected by the conflict. The four organizations are HEAL Palestine, Palestine Children's Relief Fund (PCRF), World Central Kitchen (WCK), and the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA).

This is not the first time they have voiced calls to Palestine. They have a father, Mohamed Anwar who is a Palestinian.

Recently, Bella Hadid was present at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in red and white clothes made from traditional Arabic fabrics.

"It's so beautiful to represent history, the fruit of love, passion and most importantly, the art of Palestinian history," Bella Hadid wrote.

On October 7, 2023, Gigi Hadid wrote about the incident of a Hamas attack. "My thoughts are with those affected by the unfair tragedy, and every day those who are innocent experience conflict - too many of them are children."

"I have deep empathy and hurt for the Palestinian people, this is the responsibility I hold every day. While I have dreams and hopes for Palestine, none of them has included any harm to Jews," he said.

Israel launched airstrikes on Palestinian refugee areas in Rafah on May 26. 36,000 people were confirmed to have died from the attack.
