Hamilton's report on the humanitarian aid situation
On Tuesday, Hamilton traveled to Al Arish in Egypt and during his visit to the Rafah border and Egyptian Red Crescent aid warehouses, he witnessed long lines of food trucks waiting for permission to enter Gaza. In his Instagram post, he referred to the dire situation of the people in Gaza, stating: "The past three years of Israeli atrocities in Gaza are horrific. It is an injustice for people to be deprived of their freedom, safety, and dignity. No human should be treated as if their life has less value."

No excuse is acceptable."
