British Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton said yesterday, Wednesday, that Israel should allow aid trucks to enter the Gaza Strip, a day after his visit to the Rafah border crossing in Egypt.
The Ferrari driver wrote on his Instagram account, "The genocide carried out by Israel in Gaza for three years is appalling. It is not right for people to be deprived of their freedom, security and dignity. No person should be treated as if his life is less valuable."
Hamilton said he saw trucks loaded with food lined up at the border ready to enter, but they were constantly subject to disruptions or long delays.
He added that one of the nearby logistics centers refused to accept some materials "for unreasonable reasons", including first aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs and even footballs intended for children.
According to him, "Israel must fulfill its obligations according to the cease-fire agreement and allow the entry of aid trucks. There is no justification for this." He added, "I don't want us to get used to their suffering, nor to be distracted from what is happening."
