World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés says Israel targeted staff in Gaza 'car by car'

BATTLEFORWORLD.COM | April 4, 2024: Chef José Andrés founder of the World Central Kitchen (WCK) has accused the Israeli military in Gaza for targeting his aid workers “systematically, car by car”. And that Monday’s military strike killing seven members of his staff was not a mistake, he said, and that Israeli forces had been told of their movements.

The WCK workers killed by the Israeli military strike are from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US as well as Palestine.

The charity organization said the aid convoy was made up of three vehicles that were hit while leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, “where the team had unloaded more than 100 tonnes of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route”. Of the three vehicles, two were armored clearly displaying the charity’s logo, however, all three were hit during the Israeli military strike.

As a result of the bombing of the WCK aid workers the UN announced it was pausing movements at night to evaluate the security situation for at least 48 hours.

The British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak spoke to Mr. Netanyahu on Tuesday and described the situation in Gaza as “increasingly intolerable” and that what happened “demanded a thorough and transparent independent investigation” into the killing of the WCK workers.
