Selena Gomezthe singer and actress, has been the subject of criticism in recent days due to its lack of statement on the war conflict between Israel and Hamas. However, through her makeup company, Rare Beauty, she has announced donations to humanitarian organizations in Palestine and Israel in order to help civilian victims, both adults and children.
The statement issued by Rare Beauty in its official account expresses its dismay at the images and reports coming from the Middle East. The company, founded in 2019, has been characterized by supporting various humanitarian causes and on this occasion condemns both the Israeli attacks that have claimed the lives of more than 10,000 civilians, including children, according to official figures from the Palestinian Ministry of Health, as well as the events that occurred on October 7, when Hamas broke into Israel and carried out murders and kidnappings.
The statement of Rare Beauty expresses its repudiation of the Israeli airstrikes that have left thousands of innocent Palestinian civilians dead, millions of displaced people without access to food, water and medicine, including numerous children. The company emphasizes the need to protect Palestinian civilians and strongly condemns any form of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. Furthermore, it expresses its regret for the terrorist attack in Israel on October 7, which also claimed the lives of many children, reaffirming that no attack against civilians is acceptable.
In response to the crisis, Rare Beauty has announced donations to the Red Cross, Red Crescent, and Israel’s Magen David Adomal, organizations that provide immediate aid to affected communities. They will also allocate funds to Unicef to provide aid and resources to children in Gaza. The company calls for supporting causes that assist civilian victims in difficult times, highlighting the positive impact that a small contribution can generate.
The statement emphasizes that the mission and values of Rare Beauty include respect for diversity and inclusion, promoting the hiring of people from different backgrounds in terms of race, creed, sexuality, gender identity and religion. Additionally, he mentions that members of the company’s team have been directly affected by the ongoing events.
The company urges its community, made up of people from diverse backgrounds, to treat each other with kindness and compassion during these difficult times. They recognize that the current situation significantly affects people’s mental health, an issue that has been a priority for the company. In this sense, Rare Beauty encourages those who need help to contact them.
