Malala calls for immediate ceasefire amid Israel-Palestine conflict

Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai has called for an immediate ceasefire amid the Israel-Palestine war which has killed several people on both sides of the border.

“As I have processed the tragic news of the past days, I think of the Palestinian and Israeli children caught in the middle,” she said in a post on X, erstwhile Twitter.

Deadly Israeli airstrikes pounded the Gaza Strip on Tuesday and razed entire districts as the United Nations said Israel’s total siege of the Palestinian enclave was banned under international law.

Gaza’s health ministry said the bombing had killed at least 830 people and wounded 4,250. The strikes intensified as night fell, shaking the ground and sending more columns of smoke and flames into the sky.

Earlier this week, Pakistan’s Nobel Peace Prize winner was trolled for not expressing her stance on the Israel-Palestine war. The trolling was triggered when media personality Mia Khalifa expressed her sympathies for Palestine.

Malala added that she had witnessed violence and terrorism and peace was something that they could only dream about.

The recent trolling has been triggered when Media personality Mia Khalifa expressed her sympathies for Palestine.

“I was only 11 years old when I witnessed violence and terrorism. We woke up to the sounds of mortar shells, saw our schools and mosques destroyed by bombs. Peace became something we could only dream about.

War never spares children—not those kidnapped from their homes in Israel, not those hiding from airstrikes or without food and water in Gaza.

Today, I am grieving for all the children and people longing for peace and justice in the Holy Land.“
