US urges quick Israeli probe into aid worker deaths in Gaza

The United States wants to see the Israeli investigation into an attack that killed seven Work Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers to be concluded swiftly, according to US State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller on Wednesday.

Miller told reporters at a news briefing that Israel must implement improved deconfliction and coordination practices to ensure the safety of humanitarian workers and all civilians present on the ground.

He added that the attack resulting in the deaths of WCK workers will not impact US initiatives to establish a floating pier off the coast of Gaza for aid delivery.
