Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Palestinians Mourn Gaza Aid Worker Killed In Israeli Strike
Caption: Palestinians Mourn Gaza Aid Worker Killed In Israeli Strike. Palestinian aid worker Mohammed al-Wahidi has been killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza City, prompting widespread mourning across the territory. An Israeli missile struck the taxi carrying the 65-year-old through the Sabra neighbourhood, killing him and three others. The victims included two brothers aged eight and 10 who were passing nearby, as well as another man. Israel’s military said it had targeted a Hamas operative and was investigating reports that civilians were also killed. Al-Wahidi was a former English teacher who became a senior official with the Egyptian Relief Committee during the war. He helped distribute food, establish camps for displaced families and deliver humanitarian support across Gaza. He recently became widely known for organising public World Cup screenings to give children and families a brief escape from the conflict. Videos of crowds watching matches among destroyed buildings spread online, while tributes described al-Wahidi as a familiar and dedicated humanitarian figure.
