Seven-time Formula One World Champion Lewis Hamilton has spoken out on the crisis in Gaza, following a UN commission\u2019s classification of the situation as genocide, stressing that the global community cannot stand by in the face of such ongoing atrocities, Anadolu reports.<\/p>\n
In a series of posts, the 40-year-old British driver decried the escalating humanitarian crisis, saying: \u201cIn the past two years, more than 10% of the population has been killed or wounded \u2013 including tens of thousands of children \u2013 and that number only continues to rise.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Hamilton shared his statements on his social media accounts, including US-based Instagram, which collectively reach millions of followers worldwide, emphasizing the urgent need for support. He also highlighted organizations that actively provide aid to Palestinians, encouraging his audience to contribute.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs human beings, we cannot stand by and let this continue to happen. I have donated to three organizations that are working tirelessly to help those who need it. If you feel you have anything to spare, I would be grateful if you could join me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
