An Israeli airstrike killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen, leading the charity to suspend delivery Tuesday of vital food aid to Gaza, where Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s offensive has pushed hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to the brink of starvation.Video above: Australian PM Anthony Albanese pays tribute to aid worker killed in GazaShips still laden with some 240 tons of aid from the charity that arrived just a day earlier turned back from Gaza, according to Cyprus, which has played a key role in trying to establish a sea route to bring food to territory. Israel has allowed only a trickle of aid into devastated northern Gaza, where experts say famine is imminent.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged that the country바카라 게임 웹사이트�s forces had carried out the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�unintended strike ... on innocent people.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He said officials were looking into the strike and would work to ensure it did not happen again.World Central Kitchen said it had coordinated with the Israeli military over the movement of the cars carrying the workers as they left northern Gaza late Monday. Footage of the aftermath showed a vehicle with the charity바카라 게임 웹사이트�s logo printed across its roof to make it identifiable from the air. The projectile punched a large hole through the roof. Two other vehicles in the convoy were incinerated and mangled, indicating multiple hits.Other footage showed the bodies, several wearing protective gear with the charity바카라 게임 웹사이트�s logo, at a hospital in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah. Those killed include three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national, an American-Canadian dual citizen and a Palestinian, according to hospital records.The killings threatened to have repercussions on multiple levels. The dead were citizens of some of Israel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s closest allies, antagonizing them at a time when the country has few friends amid mounting international criticism of its nearly 6-month-old offensive in Gaza.Video below: State Department: Make clear to Israel the US supports free pressThe strike could also set back efforts by the U.S. and other countries to open a maritime corridor for aid from Cyprus that would help ease the growing humanitarian disaster in Gaza바카라 게임 웹사이트�s north. World Central Kitchen, a food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, was key to the new route.Cypriot President Nikos Christodoulides said Tuesday that ship deliveries would continue. Israel has barred UNRWA, the main U.N. agency in Gaza, from making deliveries to the north, and other aid groups say sending truck convoys north has been extremely difficult because of the military바카라 게임 웹사이트�s failure to either grant permission or ensure safe passage.The strike also underscored what critics have called the Israeli military's disregard for civilian casualties in its Gaza campaign, which it says is aimed at destroying Hamas after its Oct. 7 attacks on Israel.Throughout the war, Israeli forces have shown readiness to inflict widespread destruction when they believe a suspected militant is present or when ground troops see a tactical need to strike.Homes with families sheltering inside are leveled by strikes almost daily. The military has struck ambulances and aid vehicles, saying that armed fighters were in them.In February, troops and a tank opened fire when they felt threatened as thousands of Palestinians crowded to take aid off trucks, and more than 100 people were killed. The military said it did not fire at the convoy and that some victims died in stampeding.More than 32,900 Palestinians have been killed in the war, around two-thirds of them women and children, according to Gaza바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Health Ministry, which does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count. Israel blames Hamas for civilian deaths, saying it operates in populated areas.The U.S., Britain, Poland and Australia called for an investigation or an explanation from Israel over the aid workers바카라 게임 웹사이트� deaths. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant ordered the forming of a 바카라 게임 웹사이트�profession team바카라 게임 웹사이트� to investigate the strike and the opening of a joint situation room enabling coordination between the military and aid groups.Andrés 바카라 게임 웹사이트� whose World Central Kitchen charity operates in several countries wracked by wars or natural disasters 바카라 게임 웹사이트� said he was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�heartbroken바카라 게임 웹사이트� by the deaths of the staffers.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing. It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he wrote on X.Anera, a Washington-based aid group that has been operating in the Palestinian territories for decades, said that in the wake of the strike it was taking the 바카라 게임 웹사이트�unprecedented바카라 게임 웹사이트� step of pausing its own operations in Gaza, where it had been helping to provide around 150,000 meals daily.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The escalating risks associated with aid delivery leave us with no choice,바카라 게임 웹사이트� it said in a statement.Jamie McGoldrick, the United Nations humanitarian coordinator for the Palestinian territories, said the strike was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�not an isolated incident,바카라 게임 웹사이트� noting that around 200 humanitarian workers have been killed in the war.바카라 게임 웹사이트�This is nearly three times the death toll recorded in any single conflict in a year,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.The war began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel in a surprise attack on Oct. 7, killing some 1,200 people and taking around 250 hostage. Israel responded with one of the deadliest and most destructive offensives in recent history.Tensions have soared across the Middle East, and an apparent Israeli strike on Iran바카라 게임 웹사이트�s consulate in the Syrian capital, Damascus, on Monday has ratcheted them up even further. Iran and its allies have vowed to respond to the strike, which killed two Iranian generals.Monday바카라 게임 웹사이트�s strike on the aid workers came hours after a new delivery with some 400 tons of food and supplies organized by World Central Kitchen and the United Arab Emirates arrived in three ships from Cyprus, following a pilot run last month.Around 100 tons were unloaded before the charity suspended operations, and the rest was being taken back to Cyprus, Cypriot Foreign Ministry spokesman Theodoros Gotsis said.The dead in the strike included Zomi Frankcom, 44, of Melbourne, Australia, and Damian Soból of Poland, the two countries' governments confirmed.Two other Israeli strikes late Monday killed at least 16 Palestinians, including eight children, in Rafah, where Israel has vowed to expand its ground operation despite the presence of some 1.4 million Palestinians, most of whom have sought refuge from fighting elsewhere.One strike hit a family home, killing 10 people, including five children, according to hospital records. Another hit a gathering near a mosque, killing at least six people, including three children.Aid groups have repeatedly called for a humanitarian cease-fire, saying it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s the only way to reach people in need. The United States, Qatar and Egypt have spent months trying to broker such a pause and a hostage release, but the indirect talks between Israel and Hamas remain bogged down.Hamas is believed to be holding some 100 hostages and the remains of 30 others after freeing most of the rest during a cease-fire in November in exchange for the release of Palestinians imprisoned by Israel.
