All Eyes on Rafah, Israel has also targeted Rafah while intensifying its attacks in Gaza. A large number of people have taken shelter in Rafah after fighting in other parts of Gaza. In such a situation, due to the start of Israeli bombing, a huge humanitarian crisis has arisen here. Last Sunday, more than 40 Palestinian civilians, including children, were killed in an Israeli attack on Rafah, the southern city of Gaza. It caught the world’s attention and people took to social media to condemn the attacks on ordinary citizens.


After this, ‘All Eyes on Rafah’ is continuously trending on social media in support of the common Palestinians. Apart from the common people, Hollywood and Bollywood celebs, sportspersons and many people from all over the world have posted on this. In some places including India and Israel, voices have been raised on social media against this trend in support of Palestinians. In such a situation, the question is arising that what is this ‘All Eyes on Rafah’.

Some of the Indian celebrities who posted the “All Eyes On Rafah,” image were Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Madhuri Dixit Nene, Varun Dhawan, and Samantha Ruth Prabhu.

The phrase ‘All eyes on Rafah’ was first used by Richard Peppercorn, the WHO representative in the West Bank and Gaza. He had said for the first time in February 2024 that all eyes are on Rafa. Richard had said this after the announcement of Israel’s attack on Rafah, which is a refuge for millions of war-stricken Palestinians.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had ordered people to evacuate Rafah. Expressing deep concern over this, Richard tried to tell the world by saying ‘All eyes on Rafah’ that there is a need to look towards Rafah because the attack here will become a problem for millions of people.
