Palestinian Aid Worker Killed in Gaza

World Central Kitchen (WCK) announced that a Palestinian staff member, Nadi Sallout, was killed in Gaza. The incident occurred near Deir Al-Balah, and the Israeli military has stated they are unaware of such an incident. This follows a previous event where three Israeli air strikes killed seven WCK staff in Gaza.

World Central Kitchen (WCK), a U.S.-based non-governmental organization, reported on Thursday that Nadi Sallout, a Palestinian staff member, was killed in Gaza.

Identified by the WCK, Sallout was off duty near Deir Al-Balah in central Gaza when the incident occurred. WCK is seeking further details, while the Israeli military stated it was unaware of any such incident and is in contact with the organization.

In a statement on X, WCK described Sallout as an essential member of their team in Rafah, praising his humanitarian efforts. Previously, on April 1, three Israeli airstrikes killed seven WCK staff, which led to international outrage, with Israel expressing sorrow and asserting that the strikes were not deliberate.
