Biden: Israel has not done enough to protect civilians

Quoted by C. it. Ann, Biden said in a statement on Wednesday, referring to the killing of seven employees of the “World Central Kitchen” organization by Israel: they were providing food to hungry civilians in the middle of the war. They were brave and selfless people.

The US president added that Israel “promised to conduct a thorough investigation”, but “this investigation must be quick and its findings made public.”

He stated that he did not do enough “to protect civilians” and “aid workers trying to deliver aid to civilians.”

The non-governmental organization “World Central Kitchen” announced in a statement that the Israeli attacks on Monday, April 1, 2024 in Gaza killed seven aid workers of this organization. In this incident, their Palestinian driver also lost his life.

This attack happened hours after the members of this non-governmental group arrived in the Gaza Strip with a ship containing food aid and went to its northern areas.

Also, pictures were published of the bodies of five dead people who were in Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in the city of Deir al-Balah in the center of Gaza, and some of them were wearing clothes with charity logos.

According to the statement of this organization, the dead were Australian, Polish, Canadian-American, British and Palestinian.
