Israel admits to attack on aid workers in Gaza

Israel has admitted the attack on the vehicles belonging to the World Central Kitchen was a tragic mistake, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu saying Israel will do everything for this not to happen again. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese is demanding “full accountability” and has called on the Israeli Ambassador to Australia to explain. “Australia expects full accountability for the deaths of aid workers, which is completely unacceptable,” Mr Albanese said. “Aid workers and those doing humanitarian work and, indeed, all innocent civilians need to be provided with protection.” The seven aid workers were leaving their warehouse in Deir al-Balah, where they had just unloaded 100 tonnes of aid.
