Gary Lineker doubled down on his support for Gaza just hours after leaving the BBC as he posted a poem which included a George Orwell quotation.
Taking to Instagram, the former England footballer shared a verse by Irish-Indian poet Nikita Gill about a Palestinian health worker who this week lost nine of her ten children in a single Israeli airstrike.
Paediatrician Alaa al Najjar received the devastating news of the deaths of her children after the airstrike on Friday, with her husband and sole surviving child, an 11-year-old boy, being treated in hospital for injuries.
Lineker, 64, shared the poem just hours after leaving BBC studios for the last time after his final Match of the Day - in-between glowing tributes from former colleagues.
His post read: 'A mother on duty caring for her patients receives the remains of nine of her children. We are told to ignore this.
