Olivia Rodrigo & Gracie Abrams Speak Out Against Starvation Crisis in Gaza: "We Can’t Stay Silent"

Sabrina Carpenter’s Short n’ Sweet

Olivia Rodrigo and Gracie Abrams are using their massive platforms to amplify the voices of those suffering in Gaza, where children are facing severe malnutrition due to the prolonged Israel-Hamas war. The two singers shared a powerful post from children’s educator Ms. Rachel, who has been vocal about the dire humanitarian crisis unfolding in the region.

“I never thought I’d see babies deliberately starved to death while stockpiles of formula sit untouched, miles away. I never thought people I respected who have always stood up for children would see them, too, and remain SILENT.”

The singers also liked the original post on Ms. Rachel’s feed, further solidifying their stance.

A Growing Humanitarian Catastrophe

The war, which began after Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack on Israel—killing 1,200 Israelis and taking 251 hostages—has led to devastating consequences for Palestinians. According to Reuters, nearly 60,000 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s military response, with countless more displaced, injured, or facing starvation due to blocked aid routes.

Rodrigo and Abrams are among a growing list of high-profile artists who have spoken out. Earlier this month, Olivia Rodrigo penned an emotional statement on social media, calling the situation in Gaza “horrific and completely unacceptable.”

“There are no words to describe the heartbreak I feel witnessing the devastation that is being inflicted upon innocent people in Palestine,” she wrote. “Mothers, fathers, and children in Gaza are starving, dehydrated, and being denied access to basic medical care and humanitarian aid.”

Artists Uniting for Ceasefire

Abrams, meanwhile, was one of the first major artists to sign the Artists4Ceasefire open letter in late 2023, alongside Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Dua Lipa, and others, urging world leaders to push for an immediate end to the violence.

Other musicians, including Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey, have also voiced their support for Palestinians in recent weeks. Eilish condemned Israel’s reported plans to forcibly relocate Gazans as “horrifying,” while Del Rey told fans, The post, which both Rodrigo and Abrams reposted on their Instagram Stories, features a heartbreaking image of an emaciated Palestinian child with a caption that reads: 

Why Their Voices Matter

With millions of followers between them, Rodrigo and Abrams’ decision to speak out brings crucial attention to a crisis that many feel has been overlooked by mainstream media. Their advocacy aligns with a broader movement within Hollywood, where more celebrities are breaking their silence on Palestine despite potential backlash.

As the war continues with no clear resolution in sight, the plea from these artists is clear: the world must not stay silent while children starve.
