World Central Kitchen (WCK) announced Wednesday that another of its workers was gravely injured in a separate Israeli airstrike in Gaza on April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJust 15 minutes before our convoy was repeatedly hit, one of our brave Palestinian staff members was gravely injured in a reportedly deadly airstrike at al-Bashir Mosque in Deir al-Balah,\u201d the food charity said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The statement said the worker, whose name is Amro, sustained severe head and hand injuries while he was off duty at a residence near the mosque in the vicinity of the organization\u2019s warehouse and recently established kitchen in Deir al-Balah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen he was removed from beneath the rubble, Amro was brought to the same hospital that also received WCK\u2019s fallen heroes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAfter spending some time in a coma, Amro was airlifted to another hospital where he is recovering, receiving treatment, and getting stronger every day,\u201d the statement said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite being given rare opportunities to leave Gaza, Amro, who joined the WCK team shortly after the beginning of the year, refused to do so, it added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Israeli attack killed seven aid workers — three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national, a US-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian — on April 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It has triggered strong condemnation around the globe and calls for accountability, with many, including WCK founder Jose Andres, disputing Israel\u2019s claim that the attack was a \u201cmistake\u201d and a case of \u201cmisidentification.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
