World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés says Israel targeted humanitarian aid.

BBC: World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés says Israel targeted staff in Gaza 'car by car'.

World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés has accused Israeli forces in Gaza of targeting his aid workers "systematically, car by car".

Monday's strike which killed seven members of his staff was not a mistake, he said, repeating that Israeli forces had been told of their movements.

WCK workers from Australia, Canada, Poland, the UK and the US were killed as well as their Palestinian colleague.

The convoy was made up of three vehicles, including two that were armoured, which clearly displayed the charity's logo. All three were hit during the strike.

[....] Mr Andrés said "it was really a direct attack on clearly marked vehicles whose movements were known by everybody at the IDF [Israel Defense Forces]".

BBC: World Central Kitchen founder José Andrés criticises Israel over aid workers' deaths.

World Central Kitchen (WCK) founder José Andrés says he is "heartbroken" over the deaths of aid workers in a strike by Israel - which he has urged to stop its "indiscriminate killing".
[.]
"These are people... angels," he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "They are not faceless... they are not nameless."

"The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing," he added. "It needs to stop restricting humanitarian aid, stop killing civilians and aid workers, and stop using food as a weapon."

Mr Andrés said he had served alongside some of the workers providing humanitarian aid in several countries.

"No more innocent lives lost," he wrote on X. "Peace starts with our shared humanity. It needs to start now."

Netanyahu's insatiable bloodlust. It's Satanic.

it's a known fact that there were "journalists" and "aid workers" embedded with the palestinian civilians and hamas terrorists that raped, tortured, mutilated and murdered the israelis on 10/7. everyone knows they use hospitals as bases, palestinians as human shields, andambulances to move people and weapons. that doesn't mean that these people were helping someone escape the idf, but i read that there was information (that turned out to be incorrect) that there was someone the idf really wanted in that convoy. these deaths are a tragedy, but they were in a war zone and things like this happen.

ontoiran , What? There was crossfire that interfered with the 3 vehicles, at 3 different locations at 3 diferent times that resulted in 3 separate hell fire missile launches that killed these humanitarian workers? Do you have a source for this?

The IDF killed plenty of their own:

" it's a known fact..."
" everyone knows..."
^ What everyone says to generalize when they have no facts.

Enjoy your final comment here unless you can bring facts to the table.
