“This is the deliberate bombing of a trapped population that has nowhere to flee. Gaza has been an open-air prison for almost two decades and is quickly becoming a mass grave“Jolie said in a message on Instagram.
Jolie highlighted that “entire families are being murdered” and 40% of the victims are children.
“As the world watches and with the active support of many governments, millions of Palestinian civilians (children, women, families) are being collectively punished and dehumanizedwhile they are deprived of food, medicine and humanitarian aid in contravention of international law,” he added.
The actress stressed that “by refusing to demand a humanitarian ceasefire and preventing the UN Security Council from imposing it on both sides, world leaders are complicit in these crimes.”

Behind the attack carried out by Hamas on October 7 in Israeli territoryí, which caused some 1,400 deaths, Israel declared war on the Islamic movement that controls Gaza and isolated that Palestinian enclave, where more than 9,000 people have already died due to Israeli military actions.
In August 2003, Jolie, who among other awards has an Oscar for best supporting actress (1999), was named Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), for their commitment and humanitarian work.
