'Unfathomable' for Israel to 'engage in military activity knowing World Central Kitchen is there'
World Central Kitchen demanded an independent investigation into the Israeli strikes that killed seven of its staff in Gaza, as Israel faced growing isolation Wednesday over the deaths of six foreign aid workers and a Palestinian driver helping deliver desperately needed food to isolated and starving residents. Israel's war in Gaza has killed nearly 33,000 Palestinians, the territory's Health Ministry says. The war began on Oct. 7, when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 people hostage. According to the UN, much of the population in northern Gaza is on the brink of starvation.
