The British Foreign Office on Tuesday summoned Israeli Ambassador Tzipi Hotovely over the killing of help staff within the Gaza Strip
“I set out the Government’s unequivocal condemnation of the appalling killing of seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including three British Nationals,” Andrew Mitchell, the minister for improvement and Africa, mentioned in an announcement.
Mitchell mentioned he requested a “quick and transparent investigation, shared with the international community, and full accountability.”
“I reiterated the need for Israel to put in place an effective deconfliction mechanism immediately and urgently to scale up humanitarian access,” Mitchell mentioned.
He added: “We need to see an immediate humanitarian pause, to get aid in and the hostages out, then progress towards a sustainable ceasefire.”
Earlier Tuesday, World Central Kitchen mentioned seven of its humanitarian help staff had been killed in Monday’s Israeli airstrike within the Gaza Strip.
The seven staff for the US-based group who had been killed on Monday had been nationals of Australia, Poland, the UK, and Palestine, in addition to a US-Canadian twin citizen.
After the “targeted attack,” the group mentioned it was pausing operations within the area.
In addition to killing some 33,000 folks since Oct. 7, the Israel offensive and siege of the strip has been blamed for near-famine circumstances amongst over 2 million Palestinians there, and for assaults killing each help staff and civilians in search of humanitarian help.
