4:26Now PlayingA Palestinian aid worker who organised Gaza's World Cup screenings was killed in an Israeli strike just before Egypt played Argentina on Tuesday.
Mohammed al-Wahidi spent years supporting families in Gaza, working as the director of the Egyptian Committee in Gaza.
About an hour before the game began, an Israeli missile struck the taxi he was travelling in.
He was killed alongside two brothers aged eight and 10, who were walking home after playing football, and another man who was caught nearby.
The Israeli military’s response is that Mohammed al-Wahidi was not the intended target - and that the strike was aimed at a Hamas militant. It says it is reviewing what happened and regrets harm to civilians.
Mohammed’s family says he will be remembered for helping people, supporting families in need and bringing his community together.
