UK, Canada and Australia condemn Israel for refusing criminal probe into aid worker killings in Gaza

Joint statement issued after IDF said it will not pursue criminal investigations into April 2024 strike that killed seven humanitarian workers Britain, Australia and Canada have called the decision of the Israeli military authorities not to open a criminal investigation into the April 2024 airstrikes that hit a convoy of aid vehicles in Gaza “shameful”. The strikes killed seven humanitarian workers from the US-based World Central Kitchen (WCK) organisation. WCK staff from the three countries were among the casualties of the attack, which prompted global outrage. “This decision is both too little, and too late.

The World Central Kitchen attack is one of countless incidents in Gaza where there has been no accountability,” the countries’ joint statement said .
