Billie Eilish joins Ms. Rachel’s appeal to pressure US officials to act on Gaza

Billie Eilish has amplified her advocacy for Gaza by supporting a video appeal from children’s educator Ms. Rachel, urging US lawmakers to address the humanitarian crisis in the region imposed by 'Israel'.

In a recent Instagram post, Eilish commented on Ms. Rachel’s video, which calls on Congress to facilitate the delivery of essential aid to Gaza, particularly focusing on alleviating the dire food shortages.

Ms. Rachel captioned the post: “Please tag members of Congress, leaders, and celebrities in the comments and share this video. There is a letter that members of Congress can sign to try and get formula, food, and aid into Gaza. We have to try everything to help.”

Eilish previously condemned 'Israel’s' plan to relocate Gaza’s entire Palestinian population, describing it as “horrifying” and sharing content highlighting the severe lack of clean water and healthcare in the region.

Eilish has also been vocal about the need for a ceasefire and the delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza, participating in initiatives like Artists4Ceasefire, a collective advocating for an immediate ceasefire and the release of all captives taken during the conflict.

Ms. Rachel, known for her educational content for young children, has faced significant backlash for her outspoken support of Palestinian children in Gaza.

In May 2024, she launched a fundraiser through Cameo, raising over USD 50,000 for Save the Children’s emergency fund, specifically targeting children in conflict zones, including Gaza.

Despite facing online harassment and accusations of exclusion, Ms. Rachel has remained steadfast in her advocacy, emphasizing her commitment to the well-being of all children, regardless of nationality or religion. 

The joint appeal by Eilish and Ms. Rachel highlights the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and calls for immediate action from US officials to provide essential aid to those in need.
