Killing of aid workers ‘inevitable result’ of Israel’s management of war, UN says
The killing of seven people working for celebrity chef Jose Andres’ World Central Kitchen charity in Gaza is “the inevitable result of the way this war is currently being conducted,” United Nations spokesperson Stephane Dujarric says
The UN again calls for an immediate humanitarian ceasefire in the war between Israel and Palestinian terror group Hamas, Dujarric says.
He notes that senior UN aid official Sigrid Kaag met with World Central Kitchen staff in Gaza just hours before they were killed.
“Let humanitarian aid workers do their job,” Dujarric says in a message to Israel.
