Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah calls for an end to "massacres" in Gaza
Liverpool striker Mohamed Salah used his social networks to call for an end to the "massacres" in Gaza and for the immediate authorization of humanitarian aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave. The player posted a video message after receiving criticism for his silence on the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The Gaza Ministry of Health has reported that more than 3,400 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,000 injured in Israeli air strikes since the beginning of the conflict. However, it is still unclear when and if aid trucks from Egypt will be able to enter Gaza, as the Egyptian government is seeking security guarantees from Israel.
The Israeli government has said that it will not prevent aid from Egypt from entering Gaza, but stressed that the supplies must not reach Hamas.
Salah stressed the importance of protecting all lives and expressed the need to stop the massacres, highlighting the terrible conditions faced by families in Gaza. He stressed the urgency of the immediate authorization of humanitarian aid to alleviate the suffering of the local population.
