Palestinian-heritage Supermodel Sisters Donate $1 Million to Gaza Relief Efforts
In a stunning display of solidarity, supermodel sisters Bella and Gigi Hadid, with Palestinian roots, have pledged a remarkable $1 million to support relief efforts in Gaza, as reported by the BBC over the weekend.
According to a spokesperson for Bella, the donation will be evenly divided among four reputable humanitarian organizations dedicated to assisting children and families affected by the recent conflict in Gaza. These organizations include Heal Palestine, Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, World Central Kitchen, and the UN Relief and Works Agency.
Each of these groups plays a vital role in providing essential aid such as food and medical assistance, support for displaced families, and crucial psychological services. The Palestine Children’s Relief Fund expressed their gratitude for the sisters’ incredible act of generosity.
Hailing from the city of Nazareth, the Hadid family has long been vocal advocates for the Palestinian cause, using their platform to raise awareness and show unwavering support.
This significant donation comes on the heels of Bella’s recent appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, where she made a statement by donning a dress crafted from a traditional red and white keffiyeh, a symbol of Palestinian resistance.
In her own words, Bella described the attire as “a beautiful way to represent the history, labor of love, resilience, and, most importantly, the art of historic Palestinian embroidery.”
