Key events

Martyred as a result of sharpnel injuries sustained in Jabaliya

A statement by Médecins Sans Frontières, for whom Nasser worked, included the following:

Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) are mourning the loss of 31-year-old Nasser Hamdi Abdelatif Al Shalfouh, our colleague. Nasser was killed by shrapnel injuries he suffered to his legs and chest on 8 October in Jabalia, north Gaza. Since 7 October, Jabalia has been under relentless attacks by Israeli forces, and people have remained trapped since then without being able to flee.

Nasser died from his injuries on 10 October in Kamal Adwan hospital. He is survived by his wife and two children.

Nasser joined MSF as a driver in March 2023 and has not been working since the war started as MSF activities in north Gaza were severely affected. MSF has been trying to expand activities in the north of Gaza, but it has been impossible so far.

After being injured, Nasser first received emergency care at Al Awda hospital, Jabalia in north Gaza, and was later transferred to Kamal Adwan hospital. He was unable to receive the necessary level of care due to the hospital´s lack of capacity and an overwhelming number of patients in the facility.
