Oscar-winner Riz Ahmed has posted a plea on his social platforms for people to “urgently speak up to try to avert the loss of innocent life” amid the ongoing crisis in Gaza and Israel.
Rogue One and Nightcrawler star Ahmed calls the actions of Hamas and the subsequent loss of life in Gaza “horrific and wrong”, before calling for an end to the “indiscriminate bombing of Gaza’s civilians and vital infrastructure, the denial of food, water and electricity, [and] the forced displacement of people from their homes”. “These are morally indefensible war crimes,” the actor claims.
Hamas’ terror attack last weekend left 1300 Israelis dead and close to 200 kidnapped. In response, Israel launched a bombing campaign against Hamas in Gaza, which has left more than 2,670 Palestinians dead and 9,600 wounded, according to the The Gaza Health Ministry.
