The UN affirms that events such as the death of WCK NGO workers in Gaza “are indefensible”

MADRID, 2 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –

The head of Humanitarian Affairs of the United Nations, Martin Griffiths, expressed this Tuesday his “outrage” at the death of seven workers from the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK) in the Gaza Strip at the hands of the Israeli Army and stressed that These facts and those who support them “are indefensible.”

«They were heroes, killed while trying to feed a starving population. My condolences to his family and colleagues,” Griffiths expressed in a brief note published on his X social network account.

“All the talk of a ceasefire and war continues to rob the best of us,” lamented the head of UN Humanitarian Affairs.

WCK has explained that one of its vehicles was attacked on Monday night by the Israeli Army as it passed through Deir al Bala, in the center of the Gaza Strip, after leaving a warehouse where they had unloaded 100 tons of food, in a movement coordinated with the Israeli authorities.

The World Central Kitchen workers were in the Palestinian enclave on a humanitarian mission, in collaboration with the NGO Open Arms, to establish a maritime humanitarian corridor between Cyprus and Gaza and thus overcome the enormous obstacles imposed by Israel for the delivery of aid by land route.
