Gift of the Givers office head in Gaza killed by Zionist Israel Defense Forces.

Ahmed Abbasi, a kind, gentle, warm human being, was directly targeted by the apartheid Israeli forces in Gaza while returning from morning prayer today with his brother. Abbasi, a father of three, served the people of Gaza with distinction since 2013, being appointed as the head of the Gift of the Givers office in the region.

He was responsible for implementing multiple projects, including the care of orphans, widows, the elderly, and the ill. He delivered water through our desalination plants, distributed food parcels, provided hot meals, and upgraded damaged homes. A few days ago, he mentioned that it's better to sit with his family of thirty-four in their own apartment and wait for their turn to die in dignity, as unarmed martyrs, rather than run from place to place as directed by the IDF.

We are grateful that he served us for forty consecutive days during this war, where the cold-blooded murder, ethnic cleansing, and genocide of a defenseless civilian population, caught up in a ghetto, took place at the hands of the anti-Arab, anti-Palestinian, anti-Christian, and anti-Muslim, inhumane Zionist Israeli murderers.

Gift of the Givers fully supports the call by President Cyril Ramaphosa to haul the terrorist from Tel Aviv, Benjamin Netanyahu, in front of the ICC for war crimes, crimes against humanity, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. We also fully support the motion in parliament today for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador with immediate effect and the severing of diplomatic ties with the Apartheid State of Israel.

To Ahmed Abbasi, "to the Almighty, we belong and to Him is our return. Rest in peace, my friend; you have served with distinction. Justice will be done, God's wrath will descend, and Truth will be made manifest. Israel has already lost."
