The Humanitarian organisation Gift of the Givers (GOG) has announced that one of its employees, along with his brother, has been killed in the war-torn Gaza region.
According to a statement, Ahmed Abbasi was killed while returning home from a morning prayer on Thursday.
Abbasi headed up the Gift of the Givers office in Gaza since 2013.
The father of three was responsible for implementing multiple projects which included caring for orphans, widows, the frail, and the elderly.
He also delivered water through the organisation's desalination plants, distributed food parcels, provided hot meals, and upgraded damaged homes.
GOG Founder, Dr Imtiaz Sooliman, said: "A few days ago he mentioned that it's better to sit with his family of thirty-four in their apartment and wait for their turn to die in dignity, as unarmed martyrs, rather than run from place to place as directed by the IDF.
"He was a witness to the lies and deception of the IDF asking communities to move to safety and then bombing them on the way killing hundreds.
"We are grateful that he served us for forty consecutive days during this war where the cold-blooded murder, ethnic cleansing, and genocide of a defenseless civilian population, caught up in a ghetto, took place at the hands of the anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, anti-Christian, and anti-Muslim, inhumane Zionist Israeli murderers," said Sooliman.
