I think aid founder is kinda right on this That bad for PR for Israel and Bibi Israel attacked aid workers ‘systematically, car by car,’ charity founder says, as fury builds over deadly strike The founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK) has accused Israel of targeting his aid workers “systematically, car by car” during the strikes that left seven dead on Monday, as mounting international fury over the attack further strains Western support for Israel’s war in Gaza. WCK challenged Israel’s response to the attacks in a fresh statement on Thursday and called for an independent inquiry into the strikes, which hit three WCK cars in central Gaza. “Israel has admitted to the killings but called it a ‘a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed non-combatants,’ and something that ‘happens in war,’” the non-governmental organization said. “This was a military attack that involved multiple strikes and targeted three WCK vehicles. All three vehicles were carrying civilians; they were marked as WCK vehicles; and their movements were in full compliance with Israeli authorities, who were aware of their itinerary, route, and humanitarian mission,” it added. Seven people – three Britons, a Palestinian, a US-Canadian dual citizen, an Australian and a Pole – were killed in the strikes, setting off fury in those countries and sparking even greater scrutiny of Israel’s conduct in Gaza since it l edition.cnn.com/2024/04/04/middleeast/jose-andres-wck-israel-strike-criticism-intl/index.html

Here other part of the story Gaza aid efforts dealt major blow as Israel’s deadly attack on relief workers prompts withdrawal of agencies he plight of starving Palestinians in Gaza is worsening as Israel’s actions have deterred critical aid agencies and imposed severe constraints on essential humanitarian efforts in the enclave. As famine looms and cases of death by starvation emerge, at least three aid providers are suspending operations in Gaza after Israeli airstrikes this week killed seven workers from World Central Kitchen (WCK), an aid group that was central to a much-touted new sea corridor from Cyprus. The killings, which included six foreign victims, caused an international uproar against Israel. “The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing,” WCK founder Jose Andres wrote on X after the workers were killed. “It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon.” edition.cnn.com/2024/04/04/middleeast/gaza-wck-aid-suspended-famine-intl/index.html#:~:text=Gaza%20aid%20efforts%20dealt%20major%20blow%20as%20Israel%E2%80%99s%20deadly%20attack%20on%20relief%20workers%20prompts%20withdrawal%20of%20agencies
