- Heavy rain has swept away tens of thousands of tents.

## Summary

Seven-time Formula One world champion Lewis Hamilton visited Egypt’s Rafah border crossing on Tuesday and met aid workers supporting Gaza, according to an Egyptian government statement. The visit drew attention to efforts to deliver supplies as severe weather and the ongoing humanitarian crisis leave people in the territory in urgent need.

North Sinai governor Khaled Megawer showed Hamilton the crossing and Egypt’s support work, with video showing him greeting aid workers. A truce agreed by Israel and Hamas last year set a target of at least 600 aid lorries entering Gaza each day, but aid workers say Israeli authorities, who control all entry points, allow only a fraction through. More than two million people face a severe humanitarian crisis, and over 74,500 Palestinians have been killed.
