The president felt it was important to recognise the tremendous contribution world Central Kitchen has made to the people in gaza, and the people around the world. The president conveyed he will make clear to israel that humanitarian aid workers must be protected. With the latest on todays events, heres ourjerusalem correspondent lucy williamson. They came to feed people from australia, poland, the us and the uk. Their mission, one of the simplest. In gaza, one of the hardest and most dangerous. Last night, israeli air strikes hit their convoy, clearly marked with the charity logo of the world Central Kitchen. Seven people killed, including three british nationals. Colleagues, distraught, identified their bodies. These are the people who brought the aid from the sea, he says. Theyre all dead, all of them. Translation it was a direct hit. They tried to treat some of them and put them in another car in front, but they shelled the car. This is the situation here. Anyone who brings aid to gaza is at risk of shelling and death. This the second shipment of aid was unloaded on a beach in Northern Gaza and taken to a warehouse. The workers were hit by an air strike as they left the house in a convoy of three vehicles. Left the warehouse. Translation unfortunately, in the past day, there was a tragic event in which our forces unintentionally harmed Non Combatants in the gaza strip. This happens in war. We are conducting a Straw Inquiry and we are in contact with the governments. We will do everything to prevent a recurrence. Six months into this war, the questions around the killing of civilians are getting sharper. This was a clearly marked aid convoy passing through an area without heavy fighting under israeli control. Aid agencies say Coordinating Safe Passage with the israeli army in gaza is cumbersome and time consuming. But its this kind of event that its designed to avoid. The un here says its been warning about Something Like this for months. We have got people in these very, very dangerous situations moving around without any comms between the different groups of different teams. And then, you know, last night, for example, you know, that there was Telephone Calls coming from the world Central Kitchen trying to make connections and itjust wasnt possible. So youre moving around gaza . No communication between teams why not . Well, because the israelis say we shouldnt have communications equipment, because if they do, they could actually be taken by hamas and use by hamas. I think its a poor excuse. The killing of british nationals sparked calls from across government for an urgent explanation. Shocked and saddened to hear the reported deaths of aid workers in gaza. Were urgently working to confirm all the details, but my thoughts right now with their friends and family, were asking israel to investigate what happened urgently because clearly there are questions that need to be answered. The first of the victims was buried today without those answers. A local man called saif abu taha. Gaza, already a byword for grief, is tonight mourning those who came to save lives and paid with their own. Lets speak to leo cans the head of mission for palestine for doctors without borders. Let me ask you first of all for your reaction to whats happened. Irate let me ask you first of all for your reaction to whats happened. We are horrified by what reaction to whats happened. We are horrified by what happened. Reaction to whats happened. We are horrified by what happened. First reaction to whats happened. We are horrified by what happened. First of| horrified by what happened. First of all, i want to present my condolences for the families of the victims. The situation in gaza is a nightmare. If we take a step back and look at whats happening in the last months, you have hospitals being targeted and literally bombed. You have civilians who are being bombed indiscriminately and you can see the indiscriminate nature of the bombing because its full of hospitals and children, and women. You have humanitarian aid that is blocked we cannot bring humanitarian aid to the north of gaza. And now, the latest event, you have seven humanitarian aid workers being deliberately killed, targeted by a missile while trying to bring food to starving people in the north of gaza. There is no word for whats happening now, no words for what is happening. Happening now, no words for what is ha enina. ~ � happening now, no words for what is haueninu. ~ �. , happening now, no words for what is haueninu. �. ,. , happening now, no words for what is haueninu. ~ �. ,. ,. , happening. Weve heard now from the world central happening. Weve heard now from the world Central Kitchen happening. Weve heard now from the world Central Kitchen that happening. Weve heard now from the world Central Kitchen that they happening. Weve heard now from the world Central Kitchen that they will i world Central Kitchen that they will be, for now, not working within that region. What kind of an impact will that have on those people who so desperately need the food . This is the whole problem desperately need the food . This is the whole problem of desperately need the food . This is the whole problem of what desperately need the food . This is the whole problem of what is the whole problem of what is happening now in gaza. Humanitarian actors are not allowed to work properly. And this tragic incident is not isolated the first was where five people were killed on msf premises. So this tragic incident is happening, but we are at the limits of our working capacity. People are being starved in the north of gaza because the Israeli Government refuses food inside gaza. Now we have the same government that is targeting ngos trying to deliver food to the north. So all the elements of whats happening in the last month are clearly working out to serious war crimes, so something needs to be done. We cannot work like this, humanitarian workers should always be protected. This is International Law and the basics of humanity. And humanity is being buried right now in gaza. For several months already. Leo, thanks ve much several months already. Leo, thanks very much for several months already. Leo, thanks very much forjoining several months already. Leo, thanks very much forjoining us. Several months already. Leo, thanks very much forjoining us. Israeli very much forjoining us. Israeli newspaper has run with a story from different sources from the idf which say that the drone which bombed those world Central Kitchen workers was actually targeting an armed hamas member who wasnt there. Earlier i spoke to gideon leavy who spoke about the story. They told us what to publish, and i dont think they said he was armed they called him a terrorist but im not sure he was even armed. And you know the definition of terrorist is very flexible and elastic, and i dont know who he was but nothing obviouslyjustified this thing, especially after they did it three times, and they even moved those aid workers after the first time, they moved to another car to save their lives. But nothing is good enough for the israeli army, and they shot them dead. Im for the israeli army, and they shot them dead them dead. Im struggling to understand them dead. Im struggling to understand that them dead. Im struggling to understand that you them dead. Im struggling to understand that you can them dead. Im struggling to understand that you can very them dead. Im struggling to understand that you can very clearly see the world Central Kitchen logos on these cars, and from what the defence sources are telling the newspaper, as you mentioned yourself, they attacked the cars with a drone, then people exited the cars and were attacked again. Its cars and were attacked again. Its not an cars and were attacked again. It� s not an exceptional case. I understand that we are all very stormed because they are internationals, but those cases happen so many times in this war. Gideon leavy speaking to me earlier. Staying in the middle east and the un secretary general, antonio guterres, has condemned a suspected Israeli Attack on irans consulate building in damascus, in syria yesterday. He also called for restraint on all sides to stop the conflict spreading. 13 people were killed in the strike, including two Senior Iranian military commanders. Irans Supreme Leader said it would not go unpunished. Our International Editor jeremy bowen has been following events from northern israel, from where he gave us his assessment of events. Theres been this shadow war going on ever since the war started in gaza on ever since the war started in gaz ,. , on ever since the war started in gaz. ,. ,. , gaza between iran, its allies, includin gaza between iran, its allies, including hezbollah, gaza between iran, its allies, including hezbollah, the gaza between iran, its allies, including hezbollah, the Lebanese Group the border of lebanon is not farfrom where im standing. And this has been going on in a tit for tat but escalating surely. Since about january this year, its gone a bit more exponential, as far as the israelis have been pushing their air strikes deeper into lebanon, theyve done more in syria and killed more people, gone after prominent people. And this is the biggest step so far. I think that the israelis sense weakness there. They picked up very clearly the signals from iran and hezbollah that they dont want to get into an all out war and i think the israelis are in a mood right now where they want to change the political geography here, the strategic situation. The same way they feel they are doing in gaza by going out to destroy hamas, they feel i think that they would like to destroy hezbollah on the other side of the border here and thats where this may well be going.
