The Bulgarian citizen who died in the attack in Gaza two days ago is Marin Marinov, 51 years old from the city of Yambol. This is clear from a publication by the Yambol municipality on social networks. 
Marinov is the father of two children - boys aged 29 and 25. He was a long-time commander of a tanker, and in recent years he has been on a mission with the UN, monitoring the distribution of humanitarian aid. He most recently held the position of coordinator in Jordan. 

People know him as an extremely hardworking and dedicated professional. In the course of his work, he was often seconded to the Gaza Strip, where he helped many people.

"We hope that those responsible for this tragedy will not remain unknown!", the municipality noted.
