Bella Hadid has said her mission for 2026 is to keep global attention on ongoing humanitarian crises in Palestine, Sudan, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. She has described this work as a continuation of years of advocacy rather than a new campaign.
Her comments came around the “Artists for Aid” benefit concert held on January 10, 2026, in Los Angeles. The event was co‑hosted by Hadid and actor Pedro Pascal and organized by Sudanese‑Canadian artist Mustafa the Poet.
The concert raised more than $5.5 million for humanitarian organizations. Funds went to the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund and the Sudanese American Physicians Association, both of which provide medical aid in crisis zones.
Hadid has framed her message around the idea that these struggles are connected. She has repeatedly used the phrase “Nobody is free until everybody is free” while sharing content that highlights Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo together.
At the benefit concert, Hadid said she sees her role as keeping these issues visible. She stated that remembering and speaking out matters, especially for conflicts that receive limited media attention.
Palestine remains a central focus of Hadid’s advocacy. She has said her goals include supporting medical evacuations for children and helping fund rebuilding efforts. Hadid has Palestinian heritage and has spoken about the issue for many years.
She has also raised concerns about Sudan’s civil war, which began in 2023, pointing to mass displacement and famine. In addition, she has increasingly drawn attention to the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its long‑running conflict tied to resource exploitation.
Alongside her activism, Hadid continues to expand her career. On January 14, 2026, she attended the New York premiere of the FX series The Beauty, marking her debut as an actress. During press appearances, she has continued to link her public work to her humanitarian mission.
