Karuna' (Tears) by International Aid Campaign'

The International Aid Campaign (IAC) has released an emotional production titled "Karuna" (Tears) shedding light on the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.

The song serves as a powerful call for solidarity and support, drawing attention to the plight of the Palestinian people through the lens of Maldivian children.

Since October 7, 2023, Gaza has faced relentless attacks by Israeli forces, backed by Western powers, resulting in widespread destruction and displacement.

This was in response to a fierce defense of their homeland by Gaza’s fighters and has left the region in ruins.

Despite the devastation, the people of Gaza remain resilient, committed to rebuilding their lives with unwavering faith.

IAC, known globally for its humanitarian efforts, continues to provide crucial support and facilitate donations from Maldivians to aid those affected in Gaza.

"Tears" narrates the heartbreaking reality of Gaza through a Maldivian Children's story.

The production features two young Maldivian children, whose peaceful and happy lives mirror the innocence and hope once present in Gaza.

The visuals starkly transition to depict the destruction and despair inflicted by Israeli military aggression — homes reduced to rubble and children left without even a drop of water.

The song, performed by renowned Maldivian singer Moosa Shifau, captures the depth of sorrow experienced by the people of Gaza.

Its poignant lyrics question the global community’s response to the crisis, asking if there are hands willing to wipe away the tears of innocent children and if the world remains silent simply because the suffering feels distant.

The final verses of the song call upon the global community to unite and act swiftly in support of Palastenian people.

'Voice'  served as the media partner for IAC’s production, helping to amplify this urgent message of compassion and solidarity.
