Bodies of Foreign Aid Workers Killed by Israel Arrive in Egypt

Egypt state media has reported that the bodies of six foreign aid workers killed in Israeli strikes have been transported out of Gaza.
Bodies will be received by representatives from their home nations and then they will be repatriated to their respective countries.
In London, a British lawmaker called on the government to launch an investigation into the Israeli killing of humanitarian aid workers in Gaza, saying the attack showed why Britain “should immediately suspend arms sales to Israel.”
In a letter to Foreign Secretary David Cameron, Labour MP Richard Burgon demanded that the government immediately launch a full investigation into whether UK-supplied arms were used in an Israeli air strike in Gaza on Monday that killed seven aid workers with the food charity World Central Kitchen (WCK), including three British nationals.
“This attack once again underlines why the UK should immediately suspend arms sales to Israel, given the role these could be playing in such deadly attacks on Gaza and even in war crimes carried out by the Israeli government,” said the member of parliament for East Leeds.
From his part, Israel’s defence chief has said that a strike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza was a “grave mistake”, after the incident prompted a chorus of international condemnation.
“This incident was a grave mistake,” Israeli military chief Herzi Halevi said in a video message on the strike that hit a World Central Kitchen (WCK) convoy on Monday.
“It shouldn’t have happened,” Halevi said, as he blamed the strike on a “misidentification — at night during a war in very complex conditions.”
“We are sorry for the unintentional harm to the members of WCK.”
