Oxfam ‘deeply appalled’ by Israeli killing of aid worker and her children in Gaza
British charity Oxfam says it is mourning the death of a psychologist who worked for one of its partner organisations in Gaza, who was killed with her children in an Israeli attack.
Oxfam said in a statement that the 27-year-old woman, Tasneem, was killed with her two children, aged five and three, in an Israeli air attack on September 20, in which her husband was critically injured. Tasneem, who was pregnant at the time, had lost a son in an Israeli attack last year.
“Tasneem was a courageous and devoted humanitarian. Despite constant danger, she served those in desperate need to the end,” said Dr Umiayeh Khammash, director of Juzoor for Health and Community Development, the Oxfam partner organisation where Tasneem worked.
The statement said two other Oxfam partner organisations had also had their premises destroyed in attacks by Israel in recent days. The office of the women’s association Al Ataa and a Palestinian Medical Relief Society (PMRS) clinic were hit on Monday, while the PMRS’s main medical centre was destroyed on Wednesday.
Ruth James, Oxfam’s regional humanitarian coordinator in Gaza, said the attacks were just some of the hundreds of Israeli strikes on aid workers. “Aid workers must never be targets,” she said.
‘Killing is everywhere’: 11 aid seekers, including 2 children, dead
The Israeli military has issued a new evacuation order in the vicinity of Gaza City’s Remal neighbourhood, instructing families to move to the south of the Strip.
People describe the road leading south as “the road of pain”. They’re leaving behind their houses, their dreams, their memories, and moving to an uncertain future. We’ve been talking to families who are making the journey on foot because they can’t afford the high cost of transport.
They are asking: “Where can we go?”
In the Netzarim Corridor, just 1km (0.6 miles) from our location, 11 Palestinians, including two children, were killed and 18 wounded while trying to access food supplies distributed by the controversial GHF.
Also, in the past hour, Israel struck a group of Palestinians in the western area of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza. Killing is everywhere – not just in Gaza City but elsewhere in the Strip. People are simply moving from one front line to another.

Gaza death toll since dawn rises to 47
At least 47 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn, hospital sources tell Al Jazeera.
Among the victims were 28 people killed in Gaza City where Israel’s army has launched a ground invasion and ramped up its bombardment in an effort to capture and occupy the territory’s main urban centre.
