ARISH, Nov 10 — Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton arrived in Egypt's El Arish on Tuesday to see first-hand efforts to receive humanitarian and relief aid bound for the Gaza Strip, Palestine.
On its Facebook page, the North Sinai governorate said the visit included a tour of the Rafah border crossing and the Egyptian Red Crescent's aid warehouses in El Arish.
He was briefed on how humanitarian and relief aid is prepared and coordinated before being sent to the Gaza Strip.
The 41-year-old British driver advocates for humanitarian and charitable causes.
In 2021, Hamilton founded Mission 44, a charity that supports young people and improves access to education and employment opportunities. He has also backed humanitarian and relief initiatives and efforts to support people affected by conflict.
Ferrari driver Hamilton sits fourth in the drivers' championship, which Mercedes' Italian driver Kimi Antonelli has won, with three races remaining in the season.
