Liverpool Footballer Mohammed Salah Calls For Aid To Gaza

Liverpool and Egyptian footballer Mohammed Salah has become the latest high-profile figure to speak about the ravaging Israel-Palestine war in Gaza and the West Bank.

In a video posted on his social media pages, the player said that it’s not easy to always speak at such times. He went ahead to call upon those necessary to let humanitarian aid reach the people of Gaza who are in dire need of it.

Furthermore, Mohammed Salah said that there has been too much brutality and escalation is too much to watch. Families are being torn apart and sacred lives are lost.

Additionally, he said that the Gaza people need help and it should be able to reach them.

The 32-year-old also addressed last night’s bombing of the Baptist hospital in Gaza which he called terrifying.

Lastly, the 3-time Premier League Golden Boot winner called on world leaders to come together and find a way for peace. Innocent lives must be protected and humanity must prevail.

“It’s always difficult to speak in such times but the ongoing incidents in the region are horrifying to watch. The brutality and escalation is too much and innocent lives are losing their lives daily. Last night’s hospital bombing was so horrifying. Humanitarian aid in form of food and medical supplies must be accessed by the people of Gaza. I’m calling upon world leaders to come together and find a solution for peace. Humanity must prevail,” said the Liverpool attacker.

This is a very delicate time for footballers and other public figures as anything they say must be scrutinized carefully before being uttered. Most of those siding with Palestine face being canceled and suspended.

French club OG Nice have already suspended Algerian defender Youcef Atal. This is after he allegedly posted a video on social media sympathizing with Palestine.

Anwar El Ghazi, an Egyptian footballer was also yesterday suspended by German club Main O4 over the same thing. Current Ballon D’or holder Karim Benzema has also come under fire from the Arab french after expressing support for Israel.

However, players such as Manor Solomon who plays for Tottenham Hotspurs and is from Israel haven’t faced any punishment despite publicly commenting about the matter.
