Palestinian-American supermodel Bella Hadid teams up with singer Mustafa on a music video for his new song, ‘Gaza is Calling’.
The short film, directed by actress-filmmaker Hiam Abbass, depicts the ongoing crisis in Palestine and Mustafa’s personal history of a Gazan boy he grew up with.
“To Ali, wherever you are, I love you”, Mustafa shares in an Instagram post. “[And] Bella, thank you for answering my call”.
The short film casts Bella Hadid and 15-year-old Gazan rap prodigy MC Abdul as a mother and son, who have found refuge from the conflict abroad. Their scenes run alongside footage of refugee Israa Ahmed and her brother, who are currently housed in a displaced peoples camp in Jenin.
“I wrote & recorded it in 2022, Bella and I conceptualised the video that same year, we shot it last year”, Mustafa shares in an Instagram post. ” It haunts me that this song/film was written and recorded so long ago”.
Proceeds from the song will be donated to the Palestinian children’s relief fund.
