Two aid organisations provide new evidence of Israel attack on staff members

The International Rescue Committee and Medical Aid for Palestine (MAP) provided updated details regarding an Israeli air strike in January that targeted a residential building housing a team of medical workers.

The air strike, which took place in al-Mawasi in southern Gaza, also targeted what the Israeli military had deemed a "safe zone", an area where Israel has said Palestinians should go to in order to escape the war in Gaza. 

The Israeli strike injured several members of MAP's team and their relatives.

The new details from the two aid groups include that the air strike likely involved a GBU32 (MK83) missile package, and that a 1000 lb US-made smart bomb was fired from an F-16 jet.

F-16s are US-made jets that include parts made by the UK.

The two groups are now calling on both the US and UK to agree to a full and independent investigation into the incident, and secure assurances from Israel that "attacks against aid workers and health workers will not occur in the future".
