WORLD CENTRAL KITCHEN VOLUNTEERS
Before honoring these heroes, lost due to the indifference and callousness of Israel’s impunity, we must NEVER forget that, before seven people were killed, almost 40,000+ innocent civilian Palestinians have been oppresed, displaced and murdered before them.
I’m accepting of the fact that these volunteers were helping but it says a lot about the governments that ‘rule’ us, that 7 lives lost made a difference before 40,000+ did.

The non-profit World Central Kitchen (WCK) has named its seven aid workers who were killed in an Israeli military strike in Gaza on Monday, April 1, praising their “beautiful souls,” as international condemnation over the incident grows.
A dual US-Canada national, a Palestinian, three Brits, an Australian, and a Pole were killed when an Israel Defense Forces (IDF) strike hit a returning WCK convoy.
===================
John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby
The three Brits killed were John Chapman, 57, James “Jim” Henderson, 33, and 47-year-old James Kirby. All three worked in WCK’s security team, the organization said.
====================
Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha
Palestinian Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, who at 25 was the youngest of the casualties, and had been volunteering as a driver with WCK. ===================
Jacob Flickinger
Jacob Flickinger, 33, was a US-Canadian dual citizen. =====================
Damian Sobol
Polish authorities confirmed that one of its nationals, Damian Sobol, from the town of Przemysl in southeast Poland, was among those killed. ====================
Lalzawmi ‘Zomi’ Frankcom
Australian Frankcom had worked with WCK since 2019, most recently as a senior manager of its operations in Asia, according to her LinkedIn page.
“She was a kind, selfless and outstanding human being that has traveled the world helping others in their time of need. She will leave behind a legacy of compassion, bravery and love for all those in her orbit,” the Frankcom family said in a statement to CNN affiliate Channel 9.
