Narrative:

While taxiing out to a taxiway we were stopped with brakes set. Another aircraft was pushed off of gate and was pushed into our aircraft causing damage to both. Both were returned to gate. The flight crew and everyone on board felt the collision. The event occurred because the ramp personnel pushed an aircraft into another stationary aircraft. Adding a wing walker when pushing aircraft would help.
