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.
