He met with children from Gaza

British pilot Lewis Hamilton, 7-time world champion in Formula 1, shared his observations about his visits to the region via virtual media. Describing Israel's activities in Gaza over the last three years as genocide and horrifying, Hamilton stated that it is injustice for people to be deprived of their freedom, security and dignity. Referring to the situation at the Rafah Border Gate, Hamilton stated that he saw walls stretching for kilometers and aid trucks kept waiting in the region, and said:

"At the Rafah Border Crossing, I saw a line of aid trucks ready to go, but they are routinely denied entry or faced serious delays. The driver I spoke to at the front of the line had already waited more than 12 hours. At the nearby logistics center, I witnessed how hard the aid workers were working, but I also saw supplies being turned away for incomprehensible reasons: sleeping bags, first aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs, even footballs for children. Israel has fulfilled its obligations under the ceasefire. "There should be no excuse for this and allow aid trucks to enter."

HE MEETS WITH CHILDREN FROM GAZA IN EGYPT

Hamilton stated that he met with Palestinian children who were evacuated from Gaza and supported by the aid organization INARA (International Humanitarian Aid and Support Network) in Egypt. Noting that he met with children injured in the attacks and receiving burn treatment at schools, hospitals and mental health clinics, Hamilton stated that he also visited the homes of families. Hamilton stated that the children he interviewed said they wanted to become teachers and doctors so they could help others in the future. Reminding that, according to reports, more than 21,500 children have died and 45 thousand children have been injured in Gaza since October 2023, the British pilot noted that children have the right to grow up in safe environments. Hamilton concluded his statement by thanking the INARA team and calling for support from aid organizations.
