It’s not always easy to speak in times like these … There has been too much violence and too much heartbreaking brutality. The escalation in recent weeks is unbearable to witness. All lives are sacred and must be protected. The massacres need to stop. Families are being torn apart.

What is clear now is that humanitarian aid to Gaza must be allowed immediately. The people there are in terrible conditions. The scenes at the hospital last night were horrifying. The people of Gaza need food, water and medical supplies urgently.

I’m calling on the world leaders to come together to prevent further slaughter of all innocent souls. Humanity must prevail.

Who said these divinely wise words, do you think? Well I'll tell you. It was the Egyptian striker, Liverpool FC's greatest player and devout Muslim Mo Salah. He's also given a very large donation to Red Crescent.
