Ferrari pilot Lewis Hamilton called for humanitarian aid to be delivered to Gaza

In his post on the US-based social media platform Instagram account, Hamilton included his photos and opinions about his visit to the Rafah Border Gate between Egypt and the Gaza Strip.

Describing the deprivation of people's freedom, security and dignity as a great injustice, Hamilton said, "The genocide that Israel has been carrying out in Gaza for the last three years is appalling. No human life should be treated as if its life is worth less. I have seen walls stretching for kilometers built to keep people inside. While standing outside this place that resembles an open-air prison, the only thought on my mind was to go in and help. I saw trucks loaded with food waiting to enter at the Rafah Border Gate, but these vehicles are often not allowed in." or serious delays are experienced. The first driver in line I spoke to had been waiting for more than 12 hours.” he said.

Stating that he witnessed the intensive efforts of the Egyptian Red Crescent in the logistics center, Hamilton said, "I also saw materials being rejected for incomprehensible reasons. Sleeping bags, first aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs, even footballs for children... Israel must fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire and allow aid trucks to enter. There can be no excuse for this. I know that many people feel the same helplessness, and feel the need to do something, not just watch. I do not want us to get used to the suffering. I do not want us to look the other way, to ignore it." I don't want us to come." made his assessment.
