Life edit

Born in Brockville, Ontario,[2][3] on October 6, 1945, she studied at the KGH School of Nursing[4] before completing her bachelor's degree in Nursing Science at Queen's University in 1969.[4] After being a teacher in Montreal, she moved to Vancouver in 1979,[3] where she worked as a nurse at Vancouver General Hospital.[5] She joined the local Red Cross branch in 1987.[2][5] Over the course of nine years, she was a director and medical administrator for six outpost hospitals in remote British Columbia.[2][5][4][6] As well, she participated as a medical administrator and nurse during ICRC missions[7] to Ethiopia (1990),[2][5][6] Kuwait[2][5] and Iran (1991),[6] Belgrade (1993),[2][5] Zaire (1995),[2][5] and Chechnya (1996).[2][8]

Murder edit

In the mission following a peace treaty between Russia and Chechnya, Nancy Malloy, together with six international Red Cross workers were located in a hospital in Novye Atagi,[3][7][9][10] close to Grozny, the capital of the Chechnya region.[11] On December 17, 1996, when the mission had been running for two and a half months, armed men entered the sleeping quarters of the hospital and shot and killed Malloy, together with five of her coworkers.[1][2][4][8][10][11]
In 2010, it was reported that a Russian special forces major had claimed to be part of the group which carried out the shooting, and that their intention was to target Chechen fighters.[8] However, witnesses had claimed soon after the event that they had heard the attackers speaking Chechen, and that the Red Cross staff had been directly targeted.[8]

Honours edit

A memorial plaque on the fatal attack is present in a school and former hospital in Novye Atagi.[4] Nancy Malloy was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal in 1997 by Governor General Romeo LeBlanc.[7] As well, she was awarded the Florence Nightingale Medal by the ICRC,[4] while receiving the Order of the Red Cross from the Canadian Red Cross in 2001.[2] In addition, Queen's University's school of nursing administers the Nancy Malloy Memorial Award, handed out by her friends and classmates.[12]
