World Central Kitchen calls for independent investigation into staff killing

World Central Kitchen (WCK) has called for an "independent, third party investigation" into the Israeli strikes that killed seven of the organisation's aid workers in Gaza on 1 April.

"We have asked the governments of Australia, Canada, the United States of America, Poland, and the United Kingdom to join us in demanding an independent, third-party investigation into these attacks, including whether they were carried out intentionally or otherwise violated international law," the statement read.

"An independent investigation is the only way to determine the truth of what happened, ensure transparency and accountability for those responsible, and prevent future attacks on humanitarian aid workers."
