World leaders have reacted to the death of seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers who were killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.

Israel has promised to conduct a thorough review into what happened.

Australian Prime Minister, Anthony Albanese said the death of Australian aid worker Lalzawmi “Zomi” Frankcom was a “tragedy that should never have occurred” and called for “full accountability”.

UK Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak said he is “shocked and saddened”, adding “clearly there are questions that need to be answered”. British nationals are reported to have been killed.

Poland’s Foreign Minister, Radek Sikorksi stated that he is personally asking for an “urgent explanation” from the Israeli ambassador Yacov Livne into reports that a Pole was among those killed.

The White House issued a statement that it is “heartbroken and deeply troubled by the strike”. US National Security Council spokesperson Adrienne Watson urged Israel to “swiftly investigate what happened”.

President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, paid tribute to the aid workers who lost their lives and sent her “deepest condolences to their families and friends.”

The EU’s foreign policy chief paid tribute to the World Central Kitchen staff killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza.

“I condemn the attack and urge an investigation,” Joseph Borrel wrote on X.

He added that the incident shows the United Nations Security Council resolution “must immediately be implemented”.
