Way out, and no safety no matter who you are. Thats tonight on this side. Good evening. Im abby phillip in new york. And tonight, the president says that he is outraged and heartbroken after seven aid workers were killed while simply doing their jobs in gaza. Hes demanding a full explanation from israel and hes also accusing the netanyahu government of not doing enough to protect civilians quote, this is not a standalone incident. The president is saying tonight, and hes right about that here is a number that too few people know. When hundred and 96 that is the number of aid workers that have been killed since israel and hamas went to war in gaza on october 7, that toll is a stain on humanity and on monday the shock that an attack left seven people, heroes literally blown apart it was not even the first time that workers with jose andress organization were attacked by israeli firepower. Tonight amid resounding outrage israel admits it made a mistake it was a mistake that followed a Myth Identification at night during a war in a very complex condition, we are thoroughly for the unintentional harm to the members of wck we sharing the grief of the families, as well as the entire World Central Kitchen Organization from the bottom of our hearts unintentional harm, a mistake israel wants the world to see this as simply a fog of war, accident but even that raises all kinds of questions about whether they really know who they are targeting in real time well get into more detail about what we know about what happened in this particular incident in a moment, but simply put, this organization did everything right. Their cars were marked, their movements were coordinated with the idf and yet there were multiple strikes, not just one the cost of Feeding Millions of people whose lives have been torn apart by war, should not be paid in blood and we say it too often here on the show and it is true. Yet again tonight. But we are about to show you is extremely graphic. It is disturbing but it is the Reality Black Body Bags piled into the back of an ambulance foreign passports belonging to those Men And Women inside of them pictures showing what they looked like before the bombs mangled their bodies before. Beyond recognition the worst of it we cannot show you in good conscience Limbs Burst Open by shrapnel. The volunteers arrayed in a row, close turned black, and red from blood their faces cold and blank other faces that dont look like faces at all anymore we have to emphasize that these are not combatants. They were in gaza because they wanted to make sure that people didnt starve but they knew the risks. And yet they also knew that under international law, their work is supposed to be protected tonight crowds shepherding a palestinian volunteer for the group, made a makeshift resting place. You can see that World Central Kitchen emblem draped over the white trout as lines of mourners. There pray in the background right now, the Israeli Government has promised to throw an independent review of what went wrong and as you heard, a top Military Official says those strikes occurred because of a mistake that followed a miss identification what that misidentification was, we dont yet know but its an account that will likely be met with extreme skepticism at this point so heres what we know tonight about what happened this week. On saturday close to 400 tons of food began to ship out from cyprus toward gaza. World central kitchen organized the shipment on vessels that they called open arms monday morning, the desperately needed aid has arrived in gaza and later that day, the workers begin to unload some of that food at this warehouse in central gaza. Monday night, World Central Kitchen says its aid workers were traveling down the Aisle Rashid Coastal Road and what is a Deconflicted Zone . They were in three vehicles, nearly 3. 5 miles south. The first vehicle was struck you can see a whole completely ripping through the charitys logo that was on the roof of the armored car there were two other strikes that rain down in quick succession. One vehicle was hit about a half a mile further down the road and the third came to a stop another mile down the road. By the end of it, seven aid workers just trying to feed the hungry were killed. One of them, Australian NationalZomi Frankcom earlier today, jake tapper spoke to zomi, is close friend about her humanitarian work the children that she fed in palestine and the children that she had in haiti or the ukraine in oci view them and its like part of her larger extended family. She met them with the smiles you met them with humanity and the world is this like a darker place without somebody like that today damian sobol was another victim of the strikes, the 35 had been a long time World Central Kitchen worker traveling to wartorn ukraine and morocco after last years earthquake joining me now is damian is close friend and a fellow World Central Kitchen volunteer, aparna bronze aparna, thank you so much for joining us. First of all, i am so very sorry for the loss of your friend. You met damian when you were both volunteering in morocco and you called him one of the Bright Lights in those horrible months. What can you tell us all about him . Well, i actually met Damian For The First Time when i joined World Central Kitchen in poland during the ukraine war i, met him in may of 2022 he was one of those people. He was one of the first people i met and he was one of those people that just, exuded goodness he was kind. He was smiling, he was joyful, he was helpful and there was i would not say theres a Single Person who he has not touched. That volunteered at World Central Kitchen in, in poland. I spent a month in may over there and then i was back again for a month july. And when you work with someone in such close quarters for so many days in a row you see a side of them that you dont get to see very often i left poland and damian and i kept an occasional contact but then when morocco had the earthquake and i chose to go there i was still a little confused about what was needed. And so i contacted a bunch of people and of course, damian was the first person to answer damian was the first person to tell me how to where to go, where to get transportation, where to stay, what to expect this was at a time when he was really busy trying to wrap his his time in morocco to go to egypt but it didnt stop him. I mean, if anybody needed help and you saw i saw that very much in poland when he man the kitchens he was kind and helpful to the volunteers that were working there, to the people that were coming off the refugees that were coming off the trains. He made sure everybody had what they needed. And you never realized how hard he worked behind the scenes because it was all always there as you were talking about him . I was watching the video that we have of him and youre describing him as just an optimistic, bright person. You can just see it in his face doing this really, really, really difficult work going to gaza. You hear it from so many aid workers is just on a different level of really destruction and difficulty. Did you ever hear damien as he was doing this work, expressed concerns about his own safety and about the risks and the sacrifices that he was making to do this kind of work you know, i dont really think he ever thought of it as sacrifices. He was there to help people we the last time he and i communicated was on february 24 and he said this was an i dont quite understand what he meant by that, but he said this was his second more time in gaza and he just said the world is going crazy and that was really it. And he was just working hard to make sure he could help the people that needed to be fed, taken care off as much as he could. Never once. Never once did he talk of being afraid or concerned about where he was his focus really was on helping the people thank you for sharing that with us. I mean, its so extraordinary to hear that when he felt like the world was going crazy, his first thought was to go right there. I think that says so much about him. Thank you so much. Aparna for joining us tonight and talking to us about your friend thank you for making his name known. And since that attack, a number of Aid Organizations not just World Central Kitchen, theyve announced that they are pausing their humanitarian efforts in gaza. And that includes American Near East Refugee Aid or an era in a statement meant the group wrote, delivering aid safely is no longer feasible. Its the first time in its 55 year history that this organization has needed to pause operations joining me now is rebecca abu should eat. She is a board member of an era. Rebecca. Thank you very much for joining us and im sorry, again, under the circumstances, i wonder what are you hearing tonight from your teams who are on the ground and gaza. And my understanding is so many of them are gazans. They are in that community. And this is not just about suspending aid in an oblique sense, its about suspending aid for their own loved ones as well. Yeah, abby, thank you our staff has been working every single day for the past six months in gaza theyve delivered an on average 150,000 meals a day. Theyve been delivering health care, psychosocial services, hygiene products. We are all incredibly proud of everything that theyve done and theyve done it. They cant leave. They cant come, they cant they cant come and go theyre under indiscriminate bombing every day. Theyve been displaced multiple times they are living under the same famine as the community that they are part of. That theyre serving. So it was with a heavy heart that i think they made the decision that we needed to temporarily pause our operations in gaza. And as do you noted, this is the first time in our history that weve had to do that. Its also the first time in the history that we lost a team member almost a month ago, we lost mousa shawwa, and his sixyearold son, karim, a few weeks later from a Missile Strike can you tell us rebecca a little bit more about what happened there . I mean, i just want people to understand the work that goes into trying to protect the people doing this work my understanding is that you all made every effort to prevent this exact thing from happening. So why did it . Thats right. I mean, thats a question for the Israeli Military and a question weve been asking every day since mousa was killed. As you noted, just like World Central Kitchen, we have experienced in this and we did everything right. Theres something called deconfliction in these war zones where you let the Military Know where youre going to be the providing aid where youre staff is living, where there is sheltering and we did that and we reconfirmed the coordinates just a few days before the house that musah was living in was struck. And that is why with a heavy heart, we had to suspend operations today. As you see, mousa, he had been working for the day. He still had his inr for our vest on and he came home and he was struck by a missile and many of his family were also injured. So we cant keep people safe at home. We cant keep people safe when theyre actually in the field delivering aid, like our colleagues were at World Central Kitchen, who also let the israelis know exactly when theyre convoy would be traveling and so this is an unsustainable disaster. You know, weve spent a lot of time talking about getting aid into gaza by air, by land, by sea. But less time i think thinking about the fact that its human beings that reliably distribute that aid its a network that was built up by organizations like a neera over decades, we have over 20 staff and gaza, but we have over 450 volunteers who make sure that that aid is distributed in a calm, safe, reliable manner, and if that network falls apart, you cant deliver aid by Remote Control you cant recreate that overnight. And thats the red flag that we have been waving for weeks red flag indeed, rebecca, President Biden, as im sure youve seen, he released a pretty strongly worded statement tonight he calls it a pattern. He says this is a major reason why distributing humanitarian aid in gaza has been so difficult because israel has not done enough to protect aid workers trying to deliver desperately needed civilian help to civilians thats mirror to what you just told us. But to hear it from the president of the United States what do you think he needs to do to change that . Well, it is a pattern and so i mean, if you notice, what role central kitchen, one of their members Staff Members wasnt american citizen i think relying on an investigation by the israelis alone is not sufficient. I think the Us Government needs to do their own investigation we need an immediate ceasefire, a surgery of surge of humanitarian aid a cable from us aid that came out tonight said that there is flour that could feed 1. 5 Million People for five months, sitting. And ashdod that has not been allowed in its 25 miles from gaza, we need to surge of humanitarian aid and we need real credible, reliable assurances that we can keep our workers safe so that we can resume operations rebecca, a boucher deed with their narrow thank you very much for sharing with us and we do hope that youre able to resume the important work that you all have been doing over these last few months. Thanks again. Thank you.
