Formula 1 legend Lewis Hamilton has leveled severe accusations against Israel, calling its actions in Gaza a "genocide" and criticizing the ongoing delays in humanitarian aid delivery. Hamilton recently visited the Rafah border crossing in Egypt to observe the aid efforts and meet with volunteers.
In a social media post, Hamilton described the situation as "shocking" and a "screaming injustice," stating that people's freedom, security, and dignity are being denied. He likened the area to an "open prison," expressing a desire to help those inside.
Hamilton detailed his observations at Rafah, noting that aid trucks laden with food were ready to proceed but were consistently denied entry or faced significant delays. He spoke with a driver who had been waiting for over 12 hours. He also witnessed Egyptian Red Crescent workers facing "absurd" rejections of essential supplies like sleeping bags, first aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs, and even footballs for children.
"Israel must fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire and allow aid trucks to enter. There are no excuses," Hamilton stated, urging people not to become accustomed to the suffering and to not look away.
