Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton is calling on Israel to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza.

This follows his visit to the Rafah border crossing in Egypt, where he was briefed on efforts to prepare and coordinate aid deliveries.

Hamilton also visited Egyptian Red Crescent warehouses, where supplies are stored before being sent into Gaza.

Hamilton says he saw trucks loaded with food waiting to enter Gaza, with deliveries facing repeated delays.

One driver told him he had been waiting for more than 12 hours.

Hamilton urged Israel to honour its ceasefire commitments and facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid.

Israel rejects allegations of genocide, saying its military campaign is aimed at Hamas.
