Lewis Hamilton Visits Rafah Border Aid Facilities
Lewis Hamilton visited the Rafah border crossing and Egyptian Red Crescent warehouses to meet with organizations delivering humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip.
Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton visited the Rafah border crossing and humanitarian aid facilities in Egypt on Tuesday. During the trip, Hamilton toured the crossing and visited logistics warehouses operated by the Egyptian Red Crescent Society to meet with organizations delivering aid to the Gaza Strip.
Khaled Megawer, the governor of North Sinai, stated the visit was intended to inform Hamilton about Egypt's efforts to facilitate aid entry into Gaza. The visit follows Hamilton's 400th career race start at the São Paulo Grand Prix. Hamilton has frequently used social media to call for a ceasefire in Gaza and has expressed solidarity with Palestine, Congo, Sudan, and Syria.
The visit occurs as UN experts report that Israeli forces have expanded control to at least 60% of Gaza. These reports indicate that aid deliveries remain below the agreed minimum of 600 trucks per day.
