Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton visited Egypt's border with Gaza on Tuesday to observe the humanitarian aid effort for the territory.
Hamilton toured the Rafah border crossing and Egyptian Red Crescent warehouses in the city of El Arish, which borders Gaza, during his visit, local authorities said.
The British driver was also briefed on the process of preparing and coordinating humanitarian supplies before they are transported to Gaza. The 41-year-old is a longstanding supporter of humanitarian and charitable causes.

@LewisHamilton : "Egyptian Red Crescent..fully ready to be deployed. So we really need to put pressure on Israel to reopen the crossing from the Palestinian side, because not enough trucks are getting through each day..in such urgent need"

Lewis Hamilton: "I'm here with the Egyptian Red Crescent as they load these boxes containing aid they have prepared to send to Gaza. They went to the Rafah border today, accompanied by their wonderful volunteers. They have more than 70,000 volunteers across Egypt, and over 2,000 people here volunteer every day to make sure these boxes are ready and packed as well as possible. They're fully ready to be
deployed. So we really need to put pressure on Israel to
reopen the crossing from the Palestinian side, because not enough trucks are getting through each day."
"The people in Gaza and Palestine are in such urgent need that they could hardly need this aid more than they do right now, so we really must apply pressure.
And work together to ensure this aid gets there. There is a great deal of it, and this center is just one of several different sites that also contain such wonderful supplies, full of food, medicine, and things that individuals and families in Palestine really need."
Love is unconditional.

"The past 3 years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza is appalling..No human being should be treated as though their life matters less."

"I saw the hard work of the @egyptianredcrescent..
Israel needs to fulfil its obligations under the ceasefire & let the aid trucks in. No excuse.
I don’t want us to get used to their suffering. I don’t want us to look away."

Good on him for caring about civilians. Nobody wants to see families go hungry. But the aid has to reach the people who need it, not Hamas. Israel and the UN have both raised concerns over the years about aid being diverted. Supporting the hungry and keeping it out of terrorists' hands go together.

There's a reason Egypt refuses to allow Palestinians to enter the country. @LewisHamilton should also know Gaza, place where they danced in the streets celebrating 9/11, rec'd BILLIONS in US aid. He should demand Hamas reveal where all the aid went & return the money to Gaza
