Hamilton calls for humanitarian aid for Gaza

Formula 1 team Ferrari's British driver Lewis Hamilton has called for humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza. In a post on his Instagram account, Hamilton announced that he had visited the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and the Gaza Strip and shared photographs from the visit.

Hamilton described the deprivation of people's freedom, safety and dignity as a great injustice. He said he found the genocide that he stated Israel has carried out in Gaza over the past three years horrifying. He said he saw food-laden trucks waiting at the crossing and that these vehicles are often not allowed in or face serious delays. He said the first driver he spoke with had been waiting for more than 12 hours.

Hamilton, who said he witnessed the intense efforts of the Egyptian Red Crescent at the logistics center, also saw materials that had been turned back. Sleeping bags, first aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs and footballs for children were among these items.

Hamilton argued that Israel should fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire and allow aid trucks to enter. He stressed that he does not want to become accustomed to the suffering, and that people must not look away or ignore it.
