JAKARTA - Olivia Rodrigo also voiced criticism for what happened in Gaza, Palestine. The 22-year-old pop star felt there had been a major humanitarian crisis there.

The criticism was conveyed through a recent Instagram Story upload. Rodrigo expressed his empathy for Palestinians who must be victims of humanity.

"There are no words that can describe the sadness I feel watching the destruction that befell innocent people in Palestine," Rodrigo said.

"Mothers, fathers, and children in Gaza are starving, dehydrated, and do not get access to basic medical care and humanitarian assistance," he continued.

The 'drivers license' singer said no children deserve to suffer at the same time as inviting people not to give up on fighting for humanity in Gaza.

"There are no children in Israel, Palestine, or anywhere in the world who deserve to suffer from what we see these children experience," Rodrigo said.

"This is terrible and completely unacceptable. Giving up on them means giving up on our humanity together," he said.

At the same time, Rodrigo stated that he had donated through UNICEF to help the victims.

Olivia Rodrigo is not the only US pop star to express support for humanitarian victims in Gaza. Lana Del Rey said she prayed for Palestine every day, while Billie Eilish denounced Israel's plan to forcefully relocate about 2 million Palestinians.
