Pop star Madonna has appealed to Pope Leo to visit Gaza as soon as possible, stating that children are the worst affected by ongoing Israeli attacks.

 

In a message shared on Instagram, Madonna wrote, “As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone, and you are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry.”

 

She added, “The humanitarian gates must be opened to save innocent and helpless children because there is very little time left.”

 

The singer further stated, “Politics cannot solve problems. Only consciousness can bring change. Therefore, I am requesting help from Pope Leo.”

 

Madonna said that on her son Rocco’s birthday, she considered “the greatest gift” to be urging everyone to help the children of Gaza, “who are the most affected in this war.”

 

Tagging international organizations, she urged those willing to help to donate to aid groups, adding, “I cannot watch Gaza’s children die of hunger.”

 

Under the ongoing Israeli genocide against Palestinians, humanitarian aid is unable to reach Gaza, leaving innocent children and people dying of hunger.

 

The United Nations and the World Health Organization have strongly condemned the situation in Gaza, warning that famine and starvation are imminent. They reported that hundreds of people, including many children, have already lost their lives due to hunger.
