What’s even more shocking than three Britons killed in Gaza? They take the death toll of aid workers past 200
The group of aid workers were coming back from a long day coordinating the latest delivery of supplies to Gaza via a new maritime corridor to help fight a looming famine in the 42-km strip. The aid, coordinated with Israel and Cyprus, was handled by World Central Kitchen (WCK), a US-based charity which feeds people across the world’s front lines and disaster zones.
A Palestinian aid worker back at their base in Deir al-Balah, in Central Gaza, told The Independent he was waiting for the team to get home.
But after 10pm local time, Israel pounded the three-vehicle convoy, killing all seven aid workers including three British citizens. This is despite the fact that they were travelling in a deconflicted zone in cars branded with the WCK logo and their movements were coordinated with the Israelis.
