Formula One driver Lewis Hamilton urged Israel to allow aid trucks into Gaza on Wednesday, following his visit to the Rafah border crossing in Egypt. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, toured the crossing and the Egyptian Red Crescent's aid warehouses on Tuesday, where he witnessed food trucks prepared for shipment into Gaza, only to be delayed or rejected for various reasons.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza has been ongoing for three years, according to Hamilton, who denounced the situation as an "injustice" and an affront to human dignity. Israel denies the genocide accusations, claiming its military operations target Hamas fighters. The seven-time champion expressed his disappointment at the delays and rejected items, emphasizing that Israel must comply with the ceasefire and permit the entry of aid trucks.
