Urging Peace: Yumi Sakugawa Pleads for Palestinian Support, Israeli Ceasefire

Yumi Sakugawa, a well-known celebrity, has joined other top artists in signing an open letter urging President Joe Biden and Congress to push for a ceasefire in the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine. The open letter, called Artists4Ceasefire, seeks to get the U.S. government to intervene and convince both parties to de-escalate hostilities and bring an end to the violence.

In the letter, Yumi Sakugawa highlights the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza, stating that the residents have practically run out of basic necessities such as food, water, electricity, medicine, and access to hospitals. The power plant in Gaza has shut down, leading to a lack of electricity, water, and wastewater treatment. The situation has reached lethal levels, and further attacks are feared. As a result, Yumi Sakugawa and other signatories are calling on President Biden and Congress to demand an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before more lives are lost.

Yumi Sakugawa’s participation in signing the Artists4Ceasefire letter demonstrates her concern for the Palestinians and indirectly appeals to Israel to halt its continuous attacks on Gaza, which have claimed the lives of thousands of women, children, and elderly individuals.
