Mohammed Al Wahidi, head of public relations for the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza, was killed in an Israeli strike on Tuesday evening.

The strike occurred shortly before the Egypt-Argentina World Cup match, which hundreds of Palestinians gathered to watch among ruins.

Egypt's coach Hossam Hassan celebrated his side's previous victory by holding up the Palestinian flag, drawing widespread solidarity from Gazans.

At least 1,070 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli attacks since a ceasefire came into effect in October last year.
