Actress Jenna Ortega has spoken out on the humanitarian crisis in Palestine, calling the resilience of Palestinians a source of inspiration.
In a recent interview, when asked who she considers a hero today, Ortega responded: “I’m quite gravitated towards the people of Palestine, and the way they speak up and the way that they’re continuously using their voice no matter how much the world seems to ignore them. It’s very important and very commendable. I would love to lift and raise their voices as well.”
Her remarks highlight the growing number of public figures using their platforms to draw attention to the aggression against Palestinians, particularly in Gaza, and to call for greater global awareness.
