Rachel Griffin Accurso, known as Ms. Rachel, has gained recognition for advocating for children in Gaza amid ongoing conflict. Her YouTube channel, which became popular during the COVID-19 pandemic, has over 16 million subscribers. Accurso has leveraged her platform to address the struggles of Palestinian children facing severe adversities such as hunger, injury, and disease. Tareq Hailat, associated with the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, acknowledges Accurso's significant role in raising awareness about Palestinian human rights and emphasizes her impact on global perceptions of Gaza's children.
"I see all children as precious and equal. My deep care for children doesn't stop at any border," Accurso tells Democracy Now! in a wide-ranging interview.
Hailat describes Accurso as 'one of the most significant, if not the most significant, voices for Palestinian human rights' in the world.
'Her advocacy has touched the hearts of people that never would have ever heard about Gaza or the Palestinian children, and that's why her voice is so vital,' he says.
