Oxfam has strongly condemned the recent killing of four water engineers in Gaza, warning that their deaths will exacerbate the already dire humanitarian crisis in the region. The engineers were targeted while working on vital services to maintain Gaza's fragile infrastructure, in collaboration with Oxfam's local partner.
The tragic incident occurred as the engineers were en route to conduct repairs on water infrastructure in Khuzaa, east of Khan Younis. Despite having coordinated their movements with Israeli authorities and clearly marking their vehicle, they were bombed, leading to their untimely deaths.
