Pop star Dua Lipa has chastised world leaders for not doing enough to call for a ceasefire in Gaza. Her comments come as she appeared on the cover of Rolling Stone for their February issue.

“My existence is kind of political, the fact that I lived in London because my parents left from the war,” said the singer, who was born to Albanian parents.

“My feelings on displaced people [are] very real and raw, and it is a difficult subject to speak about because it’s so divisive,” she added.

“At the moment, what we have to look at is how many lives have been lost in Gaza, and the innocent civilians, and the lives that are just being lost. There are just not enough world leaders that are taking a stand and speaking up about the humanitarian crisis that’s happening, the humanitarian ceasefire that has to happen,” Lipa told Rolling Stone.
