Lewis Hamilton, the biggest star of the F1, has announced that he has donated to three organisations helping people in Gaza as the Israeli genocide worsens.
The seven-time Formula One world champion shared a Save the Children UK reel on Instagram before posting his own statement about the genocide in Gaza.
“The situation in Gaza is getting worse by the day,” Hamilton wrote. “In the past two years, more than 10% of the population has been killed or wounded, including tens of thousands of children, and that number only continues to rise.
“The latest incursion on Gaza City has forced hundreds of thousands of people from their homes, with hospitals across the strip already overwhelmed with those suffering from famine, and casualties of the bombing that never seems to end.
“Today, a UN commission of enquiry described what is happening in Gaza as a genocide. As human beings, we cannot stand by and let this continue to happen.”
Hamilton thanked those who could support the cause and revealed he donated to three charities: Palestine Red Crescent, Doctors Without Borders, and Save the Children UK.
“It’s hard not to feel powerless in the face of so much tragedy, but we can’t stand by and do nothing,” he added. “There are some incredible organisations doing great work to help the people of Palestine, and they need funds to be able to do so.
“I have donated to three organisations that are working tirelessly to help those who need it,” he stated before listing the three groups. “If you feel you have anything to spare, I would be grateful if you could join me.”
The Israeli genocide in Gaza continues to escalate as Zionist forces intensify their attacks. More than 64,000 innocent Palestinians have been killed so far, while children are dying due to devastation.
