Israel has not done enough to protect
aid workers trying to deliver
desperately needed help to civilians, President Joe Biden, via statement.
The United States has repeatedly
urged Israel to deconflict their
military operations against Hamas
with humanitarian operations, in
order to avoid civilian casualties, President Joe Biden, via statement.
On April 5, the Israeli military announced
that two officers in connection with
the incident have been dismissed. .
Three other officers have been reprimanded.
The Israeli military determined that each of the officers "mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement," AP reports. .
It’s a tragedy, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
It’s a serious event that we are
responsible for and it shouldn’t
have happened and we will make
sure that it won’t happen again, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
World Central Kitchen referred to the probe and disciplinary actions as "important steps forward,".
but called out the army for
failing to follow its own protocols.
Without systemic change, there will
be more military failures, more
apologies and more grieving families, World Central Kitchen, via statement.

are facing starvation, AP reports.

An Israeli inquiry into the airstrike that claimed lives of seven aid workers in Gaza found serious military errors, resulting in two officers being dismissed and senior commanders reprimanded. The military mistakenly targeted World Central Kitchen's vehicles, believing they belonged to Hamas. Visibility issues in the dark hindered the identification of aid workers' logos.
