Mohamed Salah has appealed for humanitarian aid to be allowed into Gaza after making a donation to help those affected by Israeli air strikes. The Egypt and Liverpool striker, one of the highest-profile Muslim athletes in the world, made the donation to the Egyptian Red Crescent on Sunday. The amount was undisclosed but is said to be significant.
Salah had faced criticism in Egypt for not using his profile to comment on the Israel-Hamas war but has called for world leaders to ‘prevent further slaughter of all innocent souls’ in a video posted on social media on Wednesday. ‘The people of Gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently,’ Salah added. ‘Humanity must prevail.”
