Lewis Hamilton visits Gaza aid operation at Egypt’s Rafah border

Two days after the São Paulo Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton travelled to Egypt to see the aid operation for Gaza. The local governorate said he was shown the Rafah crossing and the Egyptian Red Crescent’s storage facilities in El Arish, and briefed on how supplies are organised before they enter Gaza.

Hamilton arrived in El Arish, in Egypt’s North Sinai region, on Tuesday. The region’s governor, Khaled Megawer, met him at the airport.

In December 2025, Hamilton travelled to Jordan with the British Red Cross. He met Red Crescent teams preparing supplies for Gaza, visited a hospital treating children evacuated from the territory and donated to the charity’s Gaza appeal.
