Singer Billie Eilish has called on members of the US Congress to take immediate action to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The Grammy-winning artist tagged several lawmakers in a recent post featuring a video from children’s content creator Ms. Rachel, urging them to support a letter demanding that baby formula, food, and other aid be delivered to civilians in the region.
The post, shared on social media this week, quickly gained attention from both fans and political observers. In it, Eilish highlighted the urgent need for life-saving supplies amid reports of worsening conditions in Gaza, where shortages of food, clean water, and medical resources continue to affect families and children.
Ms. Rachel, known for her educational videos for young audiences, originally posted the clip to raise awareness about the crisis. Eilish amplified the message by directly tagging members of Congress, asking them to sign onto a letter supporting the delivery of humanitarian assistance.
Advocacy groups and humanitarian organizations have repeatedly called for international intervention to ensure safe and consistent access to essential goods in Gaza. Lawmakers who sign the letter would be urging the administration to prioritize aid and secure delivery channels.
While Eilish has spoken on political and social issues in the past, this latest action underscores her willingness to use her platform to push for humanitarian causes. Her post has sparked widespread discussion online, with many applauding the artist for drawing attention to the situation and putting pressure on elected officials.
