Hamilton in Egypt
Lewis Hamilton arrived in Egypt’s El Arish and toured the places where humanitarian aid is gathered and prepared for Gaza. The North Sinai governorate said he visited the Rafah border crossing and the Egyptian Red Crescent’s aid warehouses in El Arish. Hamilton was briefed on how the aid is prepared and coordinated before it is sent toward the Gaza Strip. North Sinai Governor Khaled Megawer welcomed Hamilton at Al-Arish International Airport.
Gaza aid delays
Hamilton used the visit to press for faster access for aid trucks headed into Gaza. He urged Israel to “let the aid trucks in” after seeing the operation for himself, and he said he saw food trucks waiting to enter Gaza, some of them delayed for more than 12 hours. He also said aid items including sleeping bags, first-aid kits, medical equipment, wheelchairs and footballs for children were being rejected. Hamilton said Israel should fulfill its obligations under the ceasefire and allow the aid through. He described the situation in Gaza as “appalling.”
Hamilton charity work
Hamilton has long supported humanitarian and charitable causes, and the Egypt trip fits that pattern. He founded Mission 44 to help young people. That background provides context for his call for aid to move after seeing the trucks, delays and rejected items at the border.
