The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office is urgently seeking further information on the death of a British aid worker in Gaza. The aid worker was one of seven individuals working with the non-profit organization World Central Kitchen (WCK) who were tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike.
The UK Foreign Office spokesperson expressed concern over the reports of the British national's death and emphasized the need for International Humanitarian Law to be upheld. The office called for the protection of civilians, citing the high number of civilian casualties in the region and urging for greater care to prevent harm to innocent lives and destruction of homes.
Among those killed in the airstrike were individuals from various nationalities, including a dual US-Canada national, individuals from Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom, and a Palestinian. The tragic incident has sparked international attention and calls for accountability.
The Israel Defense Forces have stated that they are conducting a thorough review of the incident, as questions and concerns mount over the circumstances surrounding the airstrike that claimed the lives of the aid workers.
