Mumbai: Priyanka Chopra took to Instagram Stories Monday to reshare a post stressing for a ceasefire in Palestine as thousands of children and minors get killed and are missing under the rubble amid Israeli bombardment.
The original post was shared by UNICEF, an agency of the United Nations responsible for providing humanitarian and developmental aid to children worldwide.
The text on the post Priyanka Chopra reshared read a quote attributed to Catherine Russell, executive director of UNICEF, “Children need a lasting humanitarian ceasefire.”
A part of the accompanying caption of the post that was originally shared by UNICEF on Instagram on December 2, read, “Today, the Gaza Strip is once again the most dangerous place in the world to be a child. After seven days of respite from horrific violence, fighting has resumed. More children will surely die as a result. Before the pause, more than 5,300 Palestinian children were reportedly killed in 48 days of relentless bombing – a figure that does not include many children still missing and presumed to be buried under rubble.”
