The former Champions League winner is regarded as a hero especially among Arab and African nations due to his achievements despite coming from a less privileged background. The Egyptian established himself as one the best players to grace the pitch and Liverpool fans have titled Mohamed Salah the “ Egyptian King”.
Salah posted an emotional clip on his social media accounts showing solidarity with human lives disrupted by the ongoing conflict in the Middle East. He pleaded to stop the ‘massacre’ as families were torn apart, voicing his support for an end to the conflict. He condemned the horrifying attacks on hospitals, which recently claimed the lives of children and parents.
In the posted clip, Salah said, urging, “It’s not always easy to speak in times like these. There has been too much violence, heartbreak, and brutality. The escalations in recent weeks are unbearable to witness. All lives are sacred and must be protected.'”
“The massacres need to stop. Families are being turned apart. What’s clear now is that humanitarian aid to Gaza must be allowed immediately. The people there are in terrible conditions”, he added further.
