Actor Mark Ruffalo has called for urgent global intervention following the International Palestinian Committee's declaration of famine in Gaza. Ruffalo attributed the famine to Israeli actions, specifically the blockade of humanitarian aid by Israel and the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), describing it as a man-made crisis disproportionately affecting children. He urged former U.S. President Donald Trump and European leaders to take action to alleviate the humanitarian disaster and to work toward a just and lasting peace. Meanwhile, Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Joaquin Phoenix have expressed support for the film "The Voice of Hind Rajab," which tells the story of a six-year-old girl killed by Israeli forces in Gaza in January 2024. The film, directed by Kaouther Ben Hania, has been selected as Tunisia's submission for the Best International Feature Film category at the 98th Academy Awards, scheduled for March 15, 2026.
