Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton visited the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza on Tuesday to see aid parcels awaiting entry into the war-torn territory. Palestinians are preparing for another difficult winter in Gaza, where much of the population lives in makeshift shelters after Israel's extensive bombing campaign two years ago.
The crossing is one of the few channels for aid to reach Gaza, while the Israeli military controls the other side, often restricting or completely blocking supplies. Hamilton toured the Egyptian Red Crescent's aid warehouses in El Arish, where he received a briefing on the logistics of delivering aid to Gaza. His visit comes as the Board of Peace, led by former US President Donald Trump, expressed concern over Israel's insufficient response to Gaza's needs.
