Madonna wrote in an impassioned Instagram post, "Most Holy Father, please go to Gaza and bring your light to the children before it's too late." She expressed her anguish as a mother watching the suffering of children in the war-torn territory. While highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis, she implored for the humanitarian gates to be fully opened to save these innocent lives, asserting, "There is no more time. Please say you will go. Love, Madonna."
The situation in Gaza has deteriorated, with UN experts warning of a possible famine and Israel facing intense scrutiny over its aid restrictions. Last week, the UN humanitarian agency indicated that aid entering Gaza remained drastically insufficient. Madonna, who recently released her remix album Veronica Electronica, continues to advocate for the plight of Gazan children during her performances, urging her fans to spread light and love amidst despair.
Her plea coincides with a broader global reaction, including a statement from U2’s Bono, who condemned violence from both Israel and Hamas, expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people. Following Hamas's attack on October 7, which killed over 1,200 Israelis, the conflict escalated, leading to significant Palestinian casualties and a growing humanitarian crisis.
Amidst escalating tensions, Madonna’s vocal support for Gaza underscores the urgency of humanitarian efforts in the face of an emerging famine, highlighting the need for immediate international action.
