As wildfires rage across Los Angeles, residents mourn the loss of life and property while others rally support through social media.

That’s Gaza for you!” she asserted. “Let’s feel for human lives unbiased.” Her comments highlight the ongoing devastation in Palestine and the role of international powers in exacerbating the crisis.

The wildfires have also prompted reactions from other celebrities. Jennifer Garner, speaking to MSNBC, shared the personal toll of the disaster, saying she lost a friend to the fire.
