ICRC grieves two colleagues killed in strike in Gaza [EN/AR/ZH]

Attachments

We are heartbroken by the deaths of two of our dear colleagues, Ibrahim Eid and Ahmad Abu Hilal, who were killed in a strike on their homes in Khan Younis on 24 May 2025.

Ibrahim worked as a Weapon Contamination Officer for the ICRC, and Ahmad worked as a Security Guard at the Red Cross Field Hospital in Rafah.

We extend our profound condolences to their families, friends and colleagues. Their loss leaves a deep hole in our hearts.

Their killing points to the intolerable civilian death toll in Gaza. The ICRC reiterates its urgent call for a ceasefire and for the respect and protection of civilians, including medical, humanitarian relief and civil defence personnel.
