Story summary

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton, 41, visited the Rafah crossing on the Egyptian-Gaza border on November 10, 2026. He met with officials and toured facilities run by the Egyptian Red Crescent to learn about humanitarian aid efforts for Palestinians in Gaza. Hamilton's visit came weeks after he called for a "free Palestine" and follows his ongoing advocacy for peace and addressing conflicts in regions like Congo and Sudan. During the tour, he spoke to Maj Gen Khaled Megawer, North Sinai governor, at the Rafah crossing. The amount of aid reaching Gaza has been falling short of the agreed-upon minimum of 600 trucks daily, amid ongoing Israeli military operations that have resulted in the deaths of at least 196 Palestinians since last year's ceasefire agreement.
