Britain to ‘hold Israel to account’ for killing of aid workers in Gaza

Foreign Secretary David Cameron has pledged to ‘hold Israel to account’ over the killing of three British aid workers in Gaza- but refuses to stop selling them weapons.

Britons James Henderson, James Kirby and John Chapman were among the seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) volunteers killed by a drone strike on Monday while trying to deliver food to Palestinians in a clearly marked charity vehicle.

WCK founder Jose Andres claimed the Israeli military knew of his aid workers’ movements and targeted them ‘systematically, car by car’.

Their deaths have sparked international fury at Israel’s ongoing military operation in Gaza, which has seen 30,000 civilians killed and accusations of genocide levelled at the Middle-Eastern state.
