Bella Hadid took to the streets over the conflict in the Middle East, marching in support of the Palestinians.
The march, in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, drew thousands of people who showed their support. Bella, whose father Mohamed Hadid is from Palestine, wore a Keffiyeh, a traditional dress, as she waved a Palestinian flag.
The march fell on Nakba Day, marking the 1948 conflict which resulted in Israel declaring its independence and many Palestinians being displaced.
Both Bella and her sister, Gigi, have been active in speaking out about the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
