Aid workers killed in Gaza ‘targeted deliberately’, says charity founder
Chef and founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK) José Andrés claimed the Israeli attack that killed seven of his food aid workers in Gaza had targeted them ‘systematically, car by car’.

Andres said the charity group had clear communication with the Israeli military, which he said was aware of his aid workers’ movements. Their convoy was hit shortly after they oversaw the unloading of 100 tonnes of food brought to Gaza by sea. Israel is facing mounting international pressure to justify its conduct in the war in Gaza as the bodies of six of the foreign aid workers killed in the drone attack were repatriated to their families.

Jose and staff, stay safe and stay out of war zones. Let in do what they were set up to do not that they will do anything that they should do
Why is no one asking WHO are the faceless drone operators that pulled the trigger…. And WHO are the commanders that authorized it?????
It back fires now by supporting human animals
200 hundred killed
3 cars , 3 hostages waiving a white flag. Never a coincidence.
I utterly condemn the October 7 attacks. I condemn the Palestinians for supporting Hamas terrorists. But Israel is just another side of the same coin.
gaza aid is hamas aid..not going to gazans
Just imagine this guy was Israel's favourite.
three cars targeted
Interpretations
security team procedures: one specialist per car.
No more American money for Israel
Israel killed British aid workers in Gaza
More than 150 UNWRA aid workers got whacked in Gaza before the West cut their funding. Nobody cared. Guess they didn't have foreign passports.
If the heat in the kitchen is too hot, get the heck ouch da kitchen !😊
Imagine what they have done to the Palestinians in the last 70 years
The same British ARMED "AID WORKERS" that IGNORED IDF CALLS ??? 😂😂😂😂
RULED BY PSYCHOPATS
First my condolences to the families of these brave people 😢❤️ for just the dismissal of whom was responsible is wrong they should be charged with a crime 🥲
Israel deliberately killed
Israel admits to knowingly striking the convoy.
So they thought Andres was in the convoy and tried to assassinate him omg!
More and more people are waking up from Israel's lies every day. That's the only solace I can take from this.
Eylon Levy, who was an Israeli government official said that Israel was letting in loads of aid and when questioned about this, because it was a complete lie, he challenged the British to send more aid and this is what happened. I fear even after this many British people will still have their eyes closed to the truth
They didn't care of IHL
"Israeli forces intentionally killed WCK workers so that donors would pull out and civilians in Gaza could continue to be starved quietly."
–Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories
If you doubt Israel's guilt, read up about the USS Liberty. 100% intentional, and that was against their best ally!
UN 377 R2P Military investigation into murders of aid workers necessary. Participation denied to the complicit USA.
Israel has informed Canada of planned terrorist activities in this country. Many times. Many Canadians are alive today thanks to the risky work of the Mossad. We must appreciate this.
Dwelling here in Bolivia , Southamerica, I feel such a relief when prestigious European media and also some leaders think that we , poorly underrated Latinamericans are a bunch of wild undevelopped countries whilst the full Europe is the bright torch of human rights and high civilization …
Israel's excuse pretty much covers the incident. That they were fully aware, but because they didn't see the logos and because some of the security detail were carrying weapons, they were positive they were Hamas fighters… There must be – out of respect for the security personnel for the Aid Charity – an independent inquiry. Also, Mathew Miller must push the Israelis for the inquiry into the deaths of Hind, the Palestinian girl, who was shot dead along with family members and ambulance crew around Feb 29th. This is one of the most inhumane acts of terror committed since Bosnia…
It's a war zone… what part of that don't you understand… so if Israel targeted these cars then hamas targeted civilians…. none of the commenters here I have seen have ever been in combat.. go back to arm chairing football…
Jose Andres should be held responsible for convincing these people to go into a war zone feeding Israel's enemy.Who does he think he is?
Israel did this on purpose… they wanted to give a warning to charity workers and it succeeded. After this happened, the charity orgs stopped operations
