Doctors Without Borders says staffer killed in Gaza City attack

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), or Doctors Without Borders, says one of its staffers was killed this morning in Gaza City.

According to a statement from the group, Fadi Al-Wadiya was killed along with 5 other people, among them three children, while riding his bicycle to the MSF clinic where he worked.

“Killing a healthcare worker while on his way to provide vital medical care to wounded victims of the endless massacres across Gaza is beyond shocking; it’s cynical and abhorrent,” Caroline Seguin, the organization’s local operations manager, is quoted saying in the statement.

MSF adds that he was the sixth staff worker to be killed since Hamas’s October 7 attack that started the war, while refraining from assigning blame for his death. “We are continuing to verify the details of this horrific incident,” it says.

We are outraged and strongly condemn the killing of our colleague, Fadi Al-Wadiya, in an attack this morning in Gaza City.
