An Israeli strike on Tuesday killed Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, the public relations director for the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza.
The attack, which targeted a civilian vehicle in Gaza City’s al-Sabra neighbourhood, killed two others alongside Wahidi, including a child, and left several people wounded.
The Egyptian Relief Committee, established by Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, coordinates aid operations in the strip, including distributing food, clearing rubble and managing camps for displaced Palestinians.
It is also well known for hosting public screenings of World Cup matches across Gaza.

They were showing a crowd watching from Gaza cheering for the Egypt goals. It was nice to see them celebrating as we were but I also felt like it could be whitewashy to see.
No glimmer of fun allowed.
