What we know about the seven workers from World Central Kitchen who were killed in Israeli air strikes in GazaThe seven aid workers killed in Israeli air strikes on Monday have been described as the "very best of humanity", as their loss is felt around the world and sends another chill through humanitarian aid groups in Gaza.
In statement, WCK's chief executive officer Erin Gore described the seven aid workers as "beautiful souls".The ABC spoke to a group of international experts to piece to together what we know about the deadly Gaza aid convoy strike."And we have countless memories of them giving their best selves to the world. We are reeling from our loss. The world's loss."
"For her it was the perfect job, she got to serve hot meals to people who were having maybe the lowest point of their lives," her friend Bryan Weaver said.Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says he has spoken with his Israeli counterpart following Israel's air strike that killed an Australian aid worker in central Gaza.
In Acapulco, Mexico, restaurants posted on social media that Flickinger was among workers who brought relief to their neighbourhoods after Hurricane Otis slammed the Pacific coast in October.The 35-year-old Polish national was known as a cheerful, friendly and resourceful manager who quickly rose in WCK's ranks.
British media reported they were all former soldiers in the British military, and worked as private security contractors for UK-based firm Solace Global. Saifeddin's brother, Abdul Razzaq Abutaha, described him as a dedicated young man who was eager to help fellow Palestinians and distribute much-needed food in Gaza.His work made him known on the Israeli side, his brother added, which helped with coordination and approvals to assist the WCK team in unloading the ship that had delivered the latest aid.
As of March 20, at least 196 humanitarians, including at least 175 UN workers, had been killed since the start of the war on October 7, the OHCHR reports.Lebanese media report an Israeli drone strike targeted UN observers patrolling Lebanon's southern border, but the Israeli military denies striking a UN vehicle in the area."This is nearly three times the death toll recorded in any single conflict in a full year," said Nada Al-Nashif, the deputy high commissioner of OHCHR.
"It has a real impact on people who depend on these organisations to receive aid," UN spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric said.
