Liverpool star Mohamed Salah has called for immediate humanitarian aid for the people of Gaza amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.
Israel has carried out heavy bombing across Gaza since Palestine extremist group Hamas launched an attack on October 7, with thousands of innocent civilians killed on both sides.
A huge blast ripped through a crowded area at the Al-Ahli al-Arabi hospital in Gaza on Tuesday, while according to Reuters, at least six people were killed in an Israeli air strike that hit a school in Gaza’s Al-Maghazi refugee camp.
Meanwhile, Israel says it ‘will not thwart’ the delivery of food, water and medicine from Egypt for civilians in Gaza as long as the aid does not ‘reach Hamas’.
Liverpool and Egypt footballer Salah has now weighed in on the conflict as he posted a video on his Twitter account on Wednesday evening.
‘It’s not easy to speak in times like this,’ Salah said in the clip. ‘There has been too much violence and too much heartbreak and brutality.
‘The escalations in recent weeks is unbearable to witness. All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop.
‘Families are being torn apart. What is clear now is that humanitarian aid to Gaza must be allowed immediately.
‘The people there are in terrible conditions. The scenes at the hospital last night were horrifying.
‘The people of Gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently and I’m calling on the world leaders to come together to prevent the further slaughter of innocent souls. Humanity must prevail.’
