The UN rapporteur for Palestine: "Israeli forces intentionally killed humanitarian workers"

Albanese believes that Israel intends to cause the withdrawal of NGOs so that Palestinians "continue to starve in silence"

MADRID, 3 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The UN special rapporteur for Palestine, Francesca Albanese, assured this Tuesday that the Israeli Army has "intentionally" killed seven aid workers from the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK) in the Gaza Strip to provoke humanitarian organizations to withdraw and the Palestinians continue to starve.

"Knowing how Israel operates, my assessment is that Israeli forces intentionally killed WCK workers so that donors would withdraw and civilians in Gaza could continue to starve in silence," Albanese posted on his social media account. X, formerly Twitter.

Afterwards, he asserted that Israel "knows that Western countries and most Arab countries will not lift a finger for the Palestinians."

The Israeli Army attacked the vehicle of an NGO team on Monday night in the Deir al-Balah area, in the center of the Gaza Strip. The deceased were British, Polish, Australian, Palestinian and American-Canadian nationals. WCK has paralyzed its operations in the enclave after the attack.

WCK 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. .
