Further, Lewis Hamilton shared an image from a refugee camp in Rafa, Gaza. The image showcased families coming together to have Suhoor before sunrise. Suhoor is the meal which is consumed in the early morning before fasting for Ramadan. The powerful picture highlighted that even during this difficult period, people were coming together to celebrate their sacred month.

The Israel-Gaza war has devastated the Gaza Strip. Over 500,000 people in Palestine are reported to be on the brink of famine. As such, it is important that a ceasefire is established between Israel and Hamas to end this deadly battle. More public figures such as Lewis Hamilton need to step up and raise their voice against this conflict to put pressure on the international community.
