The World Central Kitchen (WCK), a US-based aid group, said today that one of its staff members was killed in the central Gaza Strip.
In a statement, WCK said Nadi Sallout, a Palestinian, was killed near the central city of Deir Al-Balah, without providing details about the circumstances of his death.
“He was an integral member of our warehouse team from the early days of our response in Rafah and a humanitarian at his very core,” WCK said.
“We are still learning the details of this tragedy, but believe he was off duty at the time,” it added.
On 1 April, an Israeli air strike killed seven WCK aid workers; three Britons, an Australian, a Polish national, a US-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian.
The killings triggered calls for accountability, with many, including WCK founder Jose Andres, disputing Israel’s claim that the attack was a “mistake” and a case of “misidentification.”
