Khan Younis Airstrike Kills Five World Central Kitchen Workers, Operations Suspended After Second Attack This Year
Nov 30, 2024, 04:06 PM
On November 30, 2024, an Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis, Gaza, targeted a vehicle belonging to the World Central Kitchen (WCK), resulting in the deaths of at least five aid workers. The attack occurred while the vehicle was reportedly driving along a designated safe route. Witnesses noted that food aid, including potatoes and onions, was still in the vehicle's boot after the strike. This incident marks the second time this year that WCK staff have been killed in Israeli attacks, raising concerns about the safety of humanitarian operations in the region. Following the attack, WCK announced the suspension of its operations in Gaza, citing the loss of its employees. The Israeli military, however, stated that the strike was aimed at a terrorist target, asserting that it had no prior knowledge of the WCK's presence. The incident has drawn international attention and condemnation, highlighting the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza amidst the conflict.
