Speaking in response to news a British national is among seven more aid workers killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza, Christian Aid’s Head of Middle East Policy & Advocacy William Bell said:
“Christian Aid sends our sincere condolences to World Central Kitchen. Our prayers are with the family and friends of the aid workers who have lost their lives in Gaza.
“We condemn this attack and demand adherence to international humanitarian law. This is another reminder of the indiscriminate and serious threat posed by airstrikes and demonstrates the fallacy of there being anything such as safe zones in Gaza.
“We are therefore calling for a permanent ceasefire to guarantee a safe and effective humanitarian response and, ultimately, to create the conditions for a sustainable peace.”
