  • Mohamed Salah has joined calls for aid to be sent to Gaza
  • The conflict between Israel and Palestine has escalated in recent weeks
  • Salah will join his Liverpool teammates this week after the international break

Liverpool forward, Mohamed Salah has called on world leaders to help end the conflict between Israel and Hamas as the death toll continues to rise on a daily basis.

The Egypt forward has made a significant donation to affected families in Gaza through the Egyptian Red Crescent.

However, the flow of aid to the people of Gaza has slowed due to Israel's continued onslaught of air strikes.

“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," he said in a video posted on social media.
“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.”

Salah is expected to return to England this week after playing a part of Egypt's international friendly against Algeria. Liverpool will face Everton in the Merseyside derby on Sunday, as reported by liverpoolfc.com.

Salah breaks Premier League record

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that Salah broke another Premier League record after he found the back of the net during Liverpool's clash against West Ham United.

The Egypt international has been impressive for the Reds since his return to the English top flight from AS Roma in 2017.

The Liverpool ace has broken numerous records since then, thanks to his stunning goalscoring streak.

Mikel Obi picks between Salah and Mane

Former Super Eagles captain, John Obi Mikel disclosed his favourite between former Liverpool teammates Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane.

The former Chelsea star was joined by reigning African player of the year, Mane, for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations draw in Abidjan last Thursday.

Meanwhile, Salah joined his Egypt teammates for the international friendly against Zambia on Thursday, a game they won 1-0, with Hamdy Fathy netting the winner.
