Church urged her Instagram followers to promote voices from Palestine LONDON: Welsh singer and songwriter Charlotte Church has pledged her support for the Palestinian people. In an Instagram video on Thursday, she urged her followers to watch footage from Gaza and the West Bank, and to amplify Palestinian voices during, “this genocide that is happening in front of all of our eyes.” The 37-year-old songstress told fans, “do not look away,” adding that was the least that people could do about what was happening to children “caught in this geopolitical insanity.” Appearing to hold back tears, Church called on viewers to keep raising their voices against what was happening in Palestine, and to amplify Palestinian voices. Also in the video, she said that starting on Nov. 20, she would be offering weekly singing sessions “for the liberation of Palestine and the liberation of the Palestinian people.” Since the attack on Israel by the Hamas militant group on Oct. 7, the Israeli military has reportedly killed more than 11,250 Palestinians in attacks on Gaza, including at least 4,630 children. Israel’s actions, including attacks on hospitals, have sparked global condemnation, with UN experts expressing concerns over “the failure of the international system to mobilise to prevent genocide.”
