Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton arrived at the Rafah crossing on the Gaza border on Tuesday to observe humanitarian aid efforts. The 41-year-old British driver landed at an airport in northern Sinai, where he met with Egyptian officials ahead of his planned visit to the border area. Local reports indicate he is also expected to visit facilities of the Egyptian Red Crescent, where volunteers prepare and dispatch humanitarian aid to Gaza. Hamilton stated his intention was to "learn and understand" how humanitarian aid is transferred to the Strip.
In recent months, Hamilton has publicly spoken out against Israel and the war in Gaza, calling for "Free Palestine" and expressing support for opposition to Israel's actions since the war began. Earlier this year, Hamilton visited Jordan, where he toured a hospital and an aid packing facility for Gaza. He described that visit as "life-changing," noting that while he expected to feel helpless seeing the situation, his experience was different.
