Killing of Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi

That this House condemns the killing of Mohamed Fawaz al-Wahidi, Director of Public Relations for the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza, who was killed alongside three other civilians, including two children, in an Israeli drone strike on a civilian vehicle in Gaza City; notes that the Egyptian Relief Committee provides essential humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza, including food aid, shelter for displaced families and rubble clearance operations; further notes reports that humanitarian workers and civilian relief operations continue to come under attack despite the October 2025 ceasefire; expresses grave concern at the continued loss of civilian life in Gaza, including humanitarian personnel and children, and at the impact these attacks have on the delivery of life-saving assistance; reaffirms that humanitarian workers and civilians are protected under international humanitarian law and that attacks against them must be independently investigated; believes that those responsible for violations of international law must be held accountable; and calls on the Government to condemn this attack, press for an immediate, independent investigation, support measures to protect humanitarian personnel and civilians, and work with international partners to secure a permanent ceasefire, unrestricted humanitarian access and full compliance with international law.
