Strip — The bodies of six foreign aid workers killed in Israeli airstrikes began the journey back to their home countries Wednesday.
This development comes as more questions swirled over Israel’s explanation that a “misidentification” led to the attack on their convoy.
The deadly strikes renewed criticism of Israel’s conduct in the nearly six-month-old war with Hamas and highlighted the risks that the military’s bombardment poses to aid workers as they try to deliver food to the besieged enclave. The United Nations said nearly a third of the Gaza population is on the brink of starvation.
The three British citizens, a Polish citizen, an Australian, and a Canadian American dual citizen worked for World Central Kitchen, an international charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés.
