Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has donated 1.5 million euros to Palestinian children in Gaza, according to the Arabic version of the club’s Classico network, Russia Today reported.

“[Real Madrid] sold it at auction and will donate the funds to schools in Gaza,” RT.com said.

Countless messages praising Ronaldo were shared in social media after the reports.

Ronaldo is not the only one showing support for Gaza, as Samsunspor’s Adem Sarı donned a T-shirt that read “Freedom for Palestine” earlier this week. The 27-year-old forward took off his jersey to reveal the T-shirt after scoring against Şanlıurfaspor.
