Hamilton urges Israel to let Gaza aid in after Rafah visit

Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton visited the Rafah border crossing and Egyptian Red Crescent aid warehouses on Wednesday, urging Israel to allow aid trucks into Gaza. Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, arrived in El Arish on Tuesday to learn about how aid is prepared and coordinated before being sent into Gaza. The three years of Israel's "genocide" in Gaza is "appalling," Hamilton wrote on Instagram, stating that people should not be denied their freedom, safety, and dignity.

He observed food trucks ready to deliver supplies at the border, which were frequently delayed or blocked. At a nearby logistics center, items such as sleeping bags, first-aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs, and children's footballs were rejected for "crazy reasons." Hamilton emphasized that Israel must fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire and allow the aid trucks in without any excuses.
