Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah called the current confrontations between Israel and Gaza a “slaughter of innocent souls” and asked world leaders to find a solution.
Mohamed Salah, who is under contract with Liverpool, bemoaned “too much violence, heartbreak, and brutality” in his post on X on Wednesday after the conflict intensified earlier this month.
Following an attack by Hamas, the principal militant organization in Palestine, which resulted in the deaths of over 1,400 people and the kidnapping of several others, tensions between Israel and Gaza intensified.
Israel is said to have carried out airstrikes in Gaza in reprisal for the extraordinary onslaught, which resulted in 3,000 dead.
According to health officials, a Tuesday night blast at a crowded hospital in Gaza City claimed hundreds of lives.
Furthermore, Palestinian authorities asserted that an Israeli airstrike was responsible for the explosion at Al-Ahli Arab Hospital.
The militant group denied that the event was caused by a misfired rocket launch by Palestinian Islamic Jihad, as claimed by the Israeli military.
Mohamed Salah bemoaned the “horrifying” scenes at the hospital and called for “humanity” to triumph in response to the tragedy there.
In a video uploaded to X, Salah declared, “The people of Gaza need food, water, and medical supplies urgently.”
“Every life is valuable and has to be safeguarded. The massacres must end. Families are breaking up.
“I am urging world leaders to unite in order to stop the continued killing of defenseless people.”
The Algerian Football Federation has called off all football matches and competitions “in solidarity with the Palestinian people” due to the ongoing conflict.
The governing body had agreed to organize future football matches featuring the Palestine national team prior to ending football.
