Israeli Drone Kills Five Central Kitchen Aid Workers

[skews13]

Palestinian news and Social Media report that an Israeli drone attack killed five World Central Kitchen workers in a three-car convoy traveling to Deir al-Balah in Central Gaza to feed starving people. Four were foreign Nationals from Poland, Australia, the UK, and Ireland. One was Palestinian, likely a translator for the group.

According to social media, the five workers were distributing food from four vessels owned by a nonprofit group in Cyprus in Northern Gaza and returning to Central Gaza after delivery. Aid groups had built a jetty, where the food was transported from the ships, loaded into cars, and driven to World Central Kitchen sites in the Gaza Strip.

WCK does amazing things, all around the world.

Meh, lay down with dogs and all that.

And what about posting the photos of decapitated Jewish baby heads that HAMAS did, OP? Or the burned remains of the Jewish children they set in fire? Or what about the women the Muslim minsters raped to death?

Your ignoring what set this all off, and focusing your irrational hate juat on the Jewish country, proves you’re just another antisemitic POS leftist.

Odanny apparently thinks Jewish babies having their heads cut off and Jewish women being raped to death is funny.

Is antisemitism contagious among liberals? It’s spreading like smallpox.

And do you say RIP for the 1400 innocent Jewish souls that the Muslim monsters tortured to death?

I just like to point out the double standards.

No reliable sources but unfortunate if true. Go to a war zone you might get killed

They CHOSE to do it, and they were part of collateral damage. But the antisemitic Democrats have more sympathy for them than the Jewish babies and children who died aganozing murders, by intent.

You'll never give two shits about 32,000 civilains murdered by Israeli tactics that actually reminds me of clearing the Warsaw Ghetto in 1943, and fighting a rebellion of Polish Jews.

Same tactics, same results. We know your type.

Where aren’t you posting photos of the babies who had their heads cut off by the Muslim savages, and the baby who was taken hostage at age 9 months, ans his brother age 4, both of whom are likely dead?

Oh right….those were Jews.

P.S. And who says 32,000 dead? HAMAS terrorists?

A deliberate strike by Israel to further cause famine and death in besieged Gaza.



World Central Kitchen said Tuesday that it was immediately halting its operations in Gaza after seven of its workers were killed in an Israeli strike, threatening already precarious deliveries to the besieged enclave.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that Israel carried out the strike but said it was “unintentional” and that Israel would investigate.

The attack on the aid convoy killed three British nationals, U.S.-Canadian dual national, one Palestinian worker and citizens of Australia and Poland, according to the group, which has been prominently involved in Gaza relief efforts.

World Central Kitchen CEO Erin Gore described the strike on the convoy as a “targeted attack” by the Israel Defense Forces and “unforgivable.” The food aid nonprofit has sent more than 1,700 trucks of assistance into Gaza as well as sea deliveries from Cyprus.

It said it had coordinated its activities with Israeli authorities. The team was traveling in a “deconflicted zone” in vehicles that included two armored cars branded with the World Central Kitchen logo.

“Despite coordinating movements with the [Israel Defense Forces], the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route,” the group said.

What a nonsensical attempt at comparison.

Footage showed the bodies, several wearing protective gear with the charity’s logo, at a hospital in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah. Those killed include three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national, an American-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian, according to hospital records.

Other footage of the aftermath of the strike showed a vehicle with the charity's logo printed across its roof to make it identifiable from the air. The projectile had punched a large hole through the roof.

In the face of a growing humanitarian disaster in Gaza’s north, several countries worked to open a sea route, hoping it would allow more aid to enter. The United States and other countries have also airdropped aid, but humanitarian workers say such efforts on their own are insufficient.

World Central Kitchen, a food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, was key to the new route. Israel has barred UNRWA, the main U.N. agency in Gaza, from making deliveries to the north, and other aid groups say sending truck convoys north has been extremely difficult because of the military’s failure to either grant permission or ensure safe passage.

Andrés — whose charity operates in several countries wracked by wars or natural disasters, including Israel after the Oct. 7 attack that triggered the war — said he was “heartbroken” by the deaths.

“The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon,” he wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

The charity said the team was traveling in a three-car convoy that included two armored vehicles, and its movements had been coordinated with the Israeli army.
