British Lebanese Singer Mika Urges Support for Lebanon Amid Israeli Aggression
As Israeli aggression intensifies in Lebanon, British-Lebanese artist Mika, whose full name is Michael Holbrook Penniman, has launched an urgent appeal in collaboration with UNICEF. He calls on the global community to support displaced Lebanese children and families who have been affected by the escalating conflict.
Emotional Plea for Lebanon
Through a heartfelt video shared on his Instagram account, Mika expressed his deep sorrow over the rising violence and the heartbreaking images emerging from Lebanon, the country of his birth. In the video, Mika says: "As hostilities intensify, I am making an urgent appeal for the children of Lebanon with UNICEF. More than 1.3 million children are at risk due to the ongoing conflict, and over 300,000 children have already been displaced."
He further highlights the efforts of UNICEF, which is on the ground providing essential humanitarian aid, including food, medicine, and clean drinking water. Mika emphasized the importance of these efforts in saving innocent lives amid the chaos.
Call for Donations
In his plea, Mika urged his followers and supporters to donate, regardless of the amount, to help provide critical supplies and care for children and displaced families. He stressed, “Even the smallest donation can make a huge difference.”
The singer also shared a donation link on his Instagram, encouraging everyone to contribute to UNICEF’s life-saving mission.
Mika’s Deep Connection to Lebanon
Mika’s emotional appeal stems from his deep personal connection to Lebanon. Born and raised in Beirut, the singer has always remained vocal about his support and solidarity with his homeland. Throughout his career, he has expressed his love for Lebanon in various ways, and this appeal is yet another example of his dedication to the people of his native country.
Finally, Mika’s call to action comes at a time when the children of Lebanon need urgent assistance. By joining forces with UNICEF, he hopes to make a significant impact in alleviating the suffering caused by the ongoing conflict and bring some relief to the most vulnerable populations.
