Tragic Israeli airstrike in Gaza claims lives of World Central Kitchen humanitarian workers, sparking international outrage.

The recent Israeli airstrike in Gaza that tragically killed seven aid workers from World Central Kitchen has shocked the world.

The international community mourns the loss of these selfless individuals and calls for accountability in ensuring the safety of aid workers on the frontlines. As investigations into the airstrike continue, the world waits for answers and justice for the fallen heroes of World Central Kitchen.
