Gza (Quds News Network)- A civil vehicle belonging to World Central Kitchen (WCK) was targeted by an Israeli drone on Salah al-Din Street in the eastern part of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis city on Saturday morning, killing three WCK workers and two civilians.
Five civilians were killed, including three of the WCK workers without any prior warning.
One of the victims is the director of the charity kitchens here in the Gaza Strip. They are local Palestinians working for the WCK and they were targeted as they were trying to reach one of the places they were operating in.
In April, seven international aid workers of the WCK were targeted in Deir al-Balah while they were travelling in three vehicles belonging to the organisation, with clear WCK signage attached to the car.
The seven included three Britons, an Australian, a Polish national, a US-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian.
The killings have triggered calls for accountability from around the world, with many, including WCK founder Jose Andres, disputing Israel’s claim that the attack was a “mistake” and a case of “misidentification.” The bleak reality is that in the past few weeks there has been a surge in attacks on buildings considered to be warehouses for the aid organisation.
