British aid worker killed in Gaza will be remembered as a hero, say family - BBC News | |
(32 minutes later) | |
Yolande Knell | |
Middle East correspondent | |
In terms of exactly what happened, we know that this was a precise strike on | |
this convoy of three vehicles, two of them armoured and bearing on their roofs | |
the large, distinctive saucepan logo of World Central Kitchen (WCK). | |
This team had just left a warehouse, where they had been unloading 100 | |
tonnes of food aid that had just arrived by sea. | |
The Israeli military is claiming that this was a mistake resulting from poor | |
co-ordination between troops in the field and aid organisation | |
officials. But there are big questions about what went wrong. | |
Israel’s prime minister said “this happens in war” and that “a thorough | |
inquiry” was being conducted to prevent a recurrence. | |
But there are some Israeli media reports - such as in Haaretz newspaper – | |
suggesting that this also shows there was also poor discipline with officers and | |
soldiers violating regulations and orders. | |
There is now growing | |
international pressure for better mechanisms so that humanitarian workers can | |
operate effectively and safely. | |
Some Gazans have woken up wondering how they are going to feed | |
their children today without WCK - they had 67 kitchens across | |
Gaza, serving some 350,000 people a day but those operations are now suspended. | |
When it comes to the maritime route bringing in aid from Cyprus, there is | |
now an awful situation where some 240 tonnes of desperately needed food | |
supplies are being sent back to Larnaca port. | |
WCK had | |
only offloaded one barge from a four-vessel flotilla which had just arrived off | |
the coast of Gaza when they came under attack. For now, there is nobody | |
else who can bring that aid in by sea. | |
