Istraeli strike kills seven food aid workers in Gaza

Istraeli strike kills seven food aid workers in Gaza

Seven people working for food aid charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza.

The US-based aid group confirmed the killing in a “targeted attack” by the Israeli military and called on it to stop “this indiscriminate killing” in Gaza.

BBC News reports that those who died were Australian, Polish, British, Palestinian, along with a dual US-Canadian citizen.

Australian worker Lalzawmi “Zomi” Frankcom is among the dead – Australia’s PM has said he expects “full accountability”.

Israel’s military says it is conducting a “thorough review” into the incident

A Palestinian medical source told the BBC the workers had been wearing bullet-proof vests bearing the charity’s logo.

The WCK says it is pausing its operations and will make a decision about the future of its work soon

The CEO of World Central Kitchen says it was an “unforgiveable attack”.

Doctors Without Borders says Gaza’s al-Shifa Hospital is “in ruins” a day after Israeli troops withdrew from the complex following a two-week raid.
