‘Humanity must prevail’ – Mohamed Salah demands aid to be sent to Gaza in emotional video

Mohamed Salah has demanded world leaders to help the people of Gaza amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Thousands have tragically been killed after fighting broke out earlier this month between terrorist group Hamas and Israel.

The Gaza Strip alone has seen much of the hostilities, including a horrific attack on a hospital in Gaza City where at least 500 were killed.

Palestinian officials have blamed the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) for the attack, pointing the finger at an air strike by the nation's military.

However, the IDF have insisted that the explosion was a result of a failed rocket launched by terrorist group Islamic Jihad.

Israel has said it will allow Egypt to deliver limited quantities of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip amid its siege following surprise attacks by Hamas on October 7.

However, humanitarian aid has been blocked from entering Gaza and in an impassioned plea Salah called for that to change.

In an emotional video posted on social media of just his face, the Liverpool star said: «It is not always easy to speak in times like this.

»There has been too much violence and heartbreaking brutality. The escalations in the recent weeks is terrible to witness.

«All lives are sacred and must be protected. This needs to stop. Families are being torn apart.

»What is clear now is that humanitarian aid must be allowed to Gaza immediately. The people there are in terrible conditions.

«The scenes at the hospital last night were horrifying.

»The people of Gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently.

«I'm calling on the world leaders to prevent the further slaughter of innocent souls. Humanity must prevail.»

Salah has pledged his own financial support to the cause and
