José Andrés, founder of World Central Kitchen (WCK), alleges Israeli forces systematically targeted his aid workers in Gaza, claiming they were informed of their movements. The strike, resulting in seven fatalities, including workers from various countries and a Palestinian colleague, was not deemed a mistake. Andrés emphasized that even without coordination, targeting civilians and humanitarians violates democratic principles. The convoy, visibly marked with WCK logos, was hit while departing a Gaza warehouse after unloading humanitarian aid. Israel acknowledges the incident as a “grave mistake” and pledges an independent investigation.
