The latest reports from Gaza have confirmed that four international aid workers with the World Central Kitchen charity were killed in an Israeli airstrike. The victims were British, Australian, and Polish nationals, and their car was struck by an Israeli attack just after crossing into northern Gaza from delivering aid that had arrived early by ship.
The source of the attack has not been independently confirmed, and the Israeli military has not provided any comment. However, it is believed that the aid shipments, organized by the United Arab Emirates and World Central Kitchen, were part of efforts to provide much-needed supplies to the region.
The situation in northern Gaza remains dire as many residents face severe food shortages due to Israel’s restrictions on access to the area. The United States has supported the sea route for aid deliveries to northern Gaza, but Israel continues to maintain its restrictions on access.
World Central Kitchen founder, Chef José Andrés, condemned the deaths of the aid workers and called for an end to indiscriminate killing and food restrictions in the region. He emphasized that peace must begin with humanity and should not be delayed any longer.
The tragic loss of these four individuals serves as a reminder of the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and highlights the urgent need for action by both international leaders and organizations alike.
