War: Salah calls for end to ‘massacres’ in Gaza

Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah, in a video message posted on his social media accounts, has urged an end to the “massacres” in Gaza and called for the immediate allowance of humanitarian aid into the besieged Palestinian enclave. This statement comes after Salah faced criticism in Egypt for his week-long silence on the Israel-Hamas conflict.

As per the Gaza health ministry, the Israeli air strikes since October 7 have resulted in at least 3,478 Palestinians killed and 12,065 injured. This conflict began when the Palestinian militant group Hamas entered Israeli towns, resulting in casualties and hostages.

Egypt has moved trucks carrying aid closer to the Rafah border crossing, but their entry into Gaza is pending security guarantees from Israel, as the border area was shelled multiple times.

Israel announced that it won’t obstruct aid from Egypt to Gaza, but it intends to prevent supplies from reaching Hamas. Salah emphasized the need to protect all lives during these challenging times and condemned the violence and brutality.
