British Aid Worker’s Family Calls for Independent Investigation into Gaza Strip Death
The family of James Kirby, a British aid worker killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza, is demanding an independent inquiry into the tragic incident. They seek answers and accountability for the deaths of Kirby and six other aid workers, including Britons John Chapman and James Henderson, in an airstrike on April 1.
The family’s statement highlights the need for transparency and justice, expressing dissatisfaction with the lack of contact from the UK government regarding investigations. They emphasize the importance of holding those responsible accountable to prevent future tragedies.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s admission of the deaths as casualties of war has sparked international outcry, with calls for a criminal inquiry and independent investigation from various entities, including the World Central Kitchen charity and the United Nations.
The harrowing rise in aid worker fatalities, particularly in conflict zones like Gaza, underscores the urgency for impartial investigations and justice for victims and their families.
