MSF’s Abdullah Hammad Killed by Israel, the 609th Medical Worker Killed in Gaza Genocide

HeadlineJul 07, 2025

Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip have killed at least 24 people so far today, following another bloody weekend that saw scores of Palestinians slaughtered. Among the dead are at least six people killed when Israel bombed a medical clinic in Gaza City housing displaced Palestinians. At least 15 others were wounded.

Separately, Doctors Without Borders, known as MSF, is condemning the killing of Abdullah Hammad, a former MSF worker shot dead by Israeli forces on July 3. Colleagues say Hammad was part of a group of Palestinians seeking to collect flour from an aid truck in Khan Younis when Israeli forces attacked without warning, killing at least 16 people. Hammad is the 12th member of Doctors Without Borders killed by Israel’s military since October 2023.
