A digitally generated image featuring the phrase "All Eyes on Rafah," depicting a glimpse of the difficult humanitarian conditions in the Gaza Strip, has garnered the admiration of tens of millions around the world within a few hours. The image showcases a massive hypothetical gathering of tents in the devastated Palestinian sector, with the phrase "All Eyes on Rafah" written in English in the center.
The image, published on Instagram, owned by the tech giant Meta, received over 29 million shares in less than 24 hours. It was released following an Israeli airstrike that resulted in the deaths of at least 45 individuals and left hundreds injured in a refugee camp west of Rafah, an incident described by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "tragic event."
Many celebrities, athletes, and influencers globally have shared the image, despite efforts by Meta to limit the spread of political content related to the war in Gaza due to the "violent nature" of many posts that violate its policy, according to a spokesperson for the company.
