"My head will explode:" Indian actress condemns Israel’s atrocities in Gaza

Indian actor Swara Bhasker has shared a heartfelt message on social media, condemning ongoing Israeli atrocities in Gaza.

Taking to Instagram, the Bollywood star slammed Israel's relentless bombing and starvation of the Palestinian people. 

"Every time I open social media, I feel my head will explode... It's been freakin' 8 months almost. My baby was 15 days old on 7 Oct. She can now sit up without support. She holds and lifts things. She recognises different people. Responds to her name. Babbles constantly. Grabs and lifts things. Almost crawls," she said.

"I look at her and I can't stop thinking that while she has been growing,

Israel has relentlessly been bombing and starving the people of Gaza. They've been slaughtering babies. Their snipers have been intentionally shooting and assassinating children. Hind Rajab was 6 years old.

They've been attacking hospitals and murdering doctors. Babies have died in [the] ICU. Corpses have been rotting in hospitals," Bhaskar added in her post.

She also criticised the US for continuing to supply weapons to Israel and the inaction of global leaders in acknowledging the crisis as genocide.

Bhasker shared her concerns about the world her child is growing up in. 

"What a broken broken world our children are inheriting!"

Israel has been committing war crimes in Gaza for almost seven months, causing many human lives and billions of dollars in damage.

Nearly 80,000 homes have been destroyed by the Israeli military since October 7, according to data shared by Palestinian authorities.

Israeli bombings have killed over 35,000 Palestinians and injured over more than 78,000 in Gaza.
