Lewis Hamilton visits Egypt’s Rafah crossing and Gaza aid facilities

Seven-time F1 world champion tours border area and logistics warehouses operated by Egyptian Red Crescent

Lewis Hamilton has visited Egypt’s Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip to meet organisations sending humanitarian aid to the territory.

The seven-time Formula 1 world champion has spoken out about conflict and humanitarian crises in the region, and has called for peace. He has frequently posted on social media about children killed in Israeli airstrikes in Gaza and called for a ceasefire.

“I think we need to make sure we’re pushing to free Congo, free Sudan, free Syria, free Palestine. I think there’s a lot of peace that I’m hoping we get to at some stage,” Hamilton said last month.
