The World Central Kitchen charity, with headquarters in the U.S. capital of Washington, DC, has announced it has halted Gaza relief efforts after running out of supplies. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well-known and respected for its humanitarian work throughout the world, a World Central Kitchen aid convoy was attacked in the Gaza Strip on April 1, 2024, when Israeli drones targeted a three-car convoy, killing seven aid workers. The workers had been overseeing the transfer of a shipment of food from a makeshift pier to a warehouse some distance away in the northern Gaza Strip, which has been pushed close to famine by Israel’s invasion and blockade during the Gaza war.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attack occurred three days after a unanimous ICJ ruling in the ongoing Genocide Convention case that ordered Israel to ensure the unhindered flow of aid into Gaza. The Israeli military acknowledged that their drone operators fired three missiles in five minutes at three of the WCK’s cars, with some survivors of the first strike boarding the second car, which was minutes later hit by a second missile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Some survivors of the second strike boarding the third car, which was in turn struck by a third missile. All seven aid workers were killed, and their bodies were sent to Shuhada al-Aqsa Hospital. They held Australian, British, Palestinian, Polish, and dual American-Canadian citizenships.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
