ICRC mourns colleague killed in Gaza
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the tragic killing of our colleague, Ziyad El Toum.
Ziyad, 46, was killed near his home in Khan Younis in Gaza around 4 July 2025, while attempting along with his relatives to reach and assist an injured family member.
Tragically, Ziyad and his relatives did not survive.
Ziyad’s killing is a devastating loss for his family and friends and for our entire team.
We extend our deepest condolences to Ziyad’s wife, extended family, and all those who had the privilege of knowing and working with him.
