U.N. agency urges eating insects to fight world hunger, malnutrition-May 13, 2013 / 10:10 AM EDT / CBS/AP
ROMEThe
United Nations says eating insects may combat global hunger and boost
health worldwide by reducing malnutrition and even air pollution.The
U.N.'s Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) said on Monday that
grasshoppers, ants and other members of the insect world are an
underutilized food for people, livestock and pets.According to the
200-page report released Monday at a news conference in Rome, 2 billion
people worldwide already supplement their diets with insects, which are
high in protein and minerals, and have environmental benefits. The
practice of eating bugs is known as entomophagy.The most commonly eaten
insect groups, according to FAO, are beetles, caterpillars, bees, wasps,
ants, grasshoppers, locusts, crickets, cicadas, leaf and planthoppers,
scale insects and true bugs, termites, dragonflies and flies.Insects
contain "good fats", can be rich in calcium, copper, iron, magnesium,
manganese, phosphorus, selenium and zinc, and are a source of fiber.The
report calls insects a healthy, nutritious alternative to mainstream
staples like chicken, pork, beef and even fish.Insects are ''extremely
efficient" in converting feed into edible meat because they are
cold-blooded, the agency said. On average, they can convert 4.4 pounds
of feed 2.2 pounds of insect mass. In comparison, cattle require 17.6
pounds of feed to produce 2.2 pounds of meat.Most insects are likely to
produce fewer environmentally harmful greenhouse gases, and also feed on
human and food waste, compost and animal slurry, with the products
being used for agricultural feed, the agency said.Currently, most edible
insects are gathered in forests and what insect farming does take place
is often family-run and serves niche markets. But the U.N. says
mechanization can ratchet up insect farming production. The fish bait
industry, for example, has long farmed insects.Insect farming is ''one
of the many ways to address food and feed security," the food agency
said.''Insects are everywhere and they reproduce quickly," the agency
said, adding they leave a ''low environmental footprint." They provide
high-quality protein and nutrients when compared with meat and fish and
are ''particularly important as a food supplement for undernourished
children," it said.The agency noted that its Edible Insect Program is
also examining the potential of arachnids, such as spiders and
scorpions, although they are not insects, strictly speaking.Since 2003,
the FAO has been releasing reports on edible insects by releasing
reports, conducting field projects or creating awareness campaigns with
the media.University biologists have analyzed the nutritional value of
edible insects, and some of them, such as certain beetles, ants,
crickets and grasshoppers, come close to lean red meat or broiled fish
in terms of protein per gram (ounce).But are they tasty? The report
noted that some caterpillars in southern Africa and weaver ant eggs in
Southeast Asia are considered delicacies and command high prices.And
some people who might not entertain the thought of consuming insects
might already be eating them. Many insects are ingested inadvertently.
U.S.
dairy farm worker infected as bird flu spreads to cows in five
states-Unexpected H5N1 outbreaks in cattle raise difficult questions
about how to protect herds and people-1 Apr 20248:30 PM ETByJon Cohen
A
cow eats next to a large puddle of water.Contaminated water or feed may
have caused U.S. dairy cows to become infected with the Texas officials
today issued a “health alert” about the first confirmed case of a human
infection with a bird influenza virus that has found its ways into
dairy cows. The worker developed conjunctivitis, a mild eye infection
that frequently occurs when avian influenza viruses jump into humans.The
case is the latest surprise in the global march of the flu strain, a
subtype of H5N1 known as clade 2.3.4.4b that has devastated wild birds
and poultry around the world for more than 2 years. The U.S. Department
of Agriculture (USDA) says it has confirmed the virus has infected
cattle at farms in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, and Michigan, while Idaho
has a “presumptive” outbreak at one dairy farm. Wild birds, which have
been found dead on some farms, most likely contaminated cow feed or
water.Some evidence suggests the virus was transmitted between cows, but
that remains unproven. And for now, USDA says its “initial testing has
not found changes to the virus that would make it more transmissible to
humans.” Still, the widespread occurrence of H5N1 in mammals has renewed
worries that it may evolve to become more transmissible between people.
And scientists are urgently trying to answer a host of questions,
including how far the virus has spread among U.S. cows and how to
prevent more herds and people from becoming infected.Although cows
routinely contract influenza viruses, this is the first time that a
“highly pathogenic” bird flu strain has been found in them. USDA says
about 10% of affected herds have become ill. Sick cows have a mild
illness, and produce less milk, which is thicker than usual, resembling
colostrum, the first milk produced after a calf is born.USDA today
stressed that the “current risk to the public remains low.”
Contamination of commercial milk is of “no concern,” the agency said in a
statement, because pasteurization reliably kills viruses, and milk from
sick cows is not being sold. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC) says people should not drink raw milk or eat products
such as cheese that are made from it. The USDA statement noted that cats
on farms have also become infected.Antibody tests of herds should soon
reveal how widespread the infection is and how long it has been
infecting cattle. Lab experiments may clarify how a virus that typically
causes respiratory disease wound up in cow udders, making it detectable
in their milk, and whether other organs are infected. No evidence
exists that the virus has infected beef cattle, but researchers say that
could simply be because of a lack of surveillance, or because these
animals show subtler symptoms than changes in milk production and its
appearance.Texas Health and Human Services said the infected person was
tested for flu “late last week” and that CDC confirmed it was the bird
flu virus this weekend. The person is being treated with oseltamivir, an
antiviral drug. “We need to be advocating for our employees on these
farms, providing them support and education in whatever language that it
needs to be in,” says Joe Armstrong, a bovine veterinarian who works
with the University of Minnesota (UM) Extension. Dairy workers rarely
wear protective gear, such as masks and goggles, Armstrong says. In the
“dairy parlors” that commercial farms use to milk cows, floors are often
cleaned using high-pressure water sprayers, which could aerosolize the
virus, he notes.Although avian influenza viruses, first detected in
humans in 1997, have caused outbreaks that killed hundreds of people,
they have difficulty infecting human cells because of differences in the
sugars that adorn human and bird cellular receptors for the virus. But
humans have the bird version in our eyes, which explains why we can
develop conjunctivitis.“I think the conjunctivitis in itself is not so
serious, but it points to the fact that those people have been exposed
and that they might develop respiratory disease,” says Thijs Kuiken, a
comparative pathologist at Erasmus Medical Center who specializes in
avian influenza. “I am really concerned about the people who are looking
after affected cattle because I’ve heard of really high levels of virus
in the milk and people are milking these animals twice a day.”The
appearance of H5N1, clade 2.3.4.4b in cows was unexpected, even after
its detection in dozens of mammalian species, including cats, dogs,
foxes, tigers, leopards, coyotes, bears, seals, dolphins—and, last
month, goats at a Minnesota farm that also had an infected poultry
flock. Cattle are often infected with type D, which one study shows can
readily infect farm workers and cause disease, but H5N1 is a type A
virus. “It’s definitely taken me by surprise, but perhaps it shouldn’t
have,” says virologist Richard Webby of St. Jude Children’s Research
Hospital.Idaho officials contend transmission of the virus between
cattle occurred on a dairy farm there. That herd became sick after
coming into contact with cows trucked in from an area in Texas where the
virus was circulating. That “does lead state officials to believe
cow-to-cow is how the virus was transmitted in this case,” a
spokesperson for the Idaho State Department of Agriculture told Science.
In Michigan, too, the virus surfaced after the importation of cows from
Texas.An experiment published in 2006 demonstrated that a different
H5N1 clade could infect calves. Virologist Martin Beer of the Friedrich
Loeffler Institute, who led that study, says “very special
circumstances” might explain the spread of the virus in U.S. cattle,
including the way the animals are milked or as-yet-undetected genomic
adaptations in the virus. “We need to wait for much better
epidemiological data,” Beer says.The good news is that so far, mammals
infected with clade 2.3.4.4b have rarely seen sustained transmission,
Webby notes. “Putting it into context, I’m not sure at this stage that
[the cattle infections are] much different than any other mammal
infections,” he says.There have been about a dozen reports worldwide of
an H5N1 virus from that clade infecting humans, all of whom had had
direct contact with birds, including one case in the United States in
August 2022, in a worker who had culled infected poultry.A major
question now looming is how to prevent further spread from dairy farms.
Most countries, including the U.S., require culling of entire poultry
flocks if even a single bird is infected with a highly pathogenic avian
influenza virus. But there is no talk of culling cows, which cost up to
$2500 each and are not becoming seriously ill.There are no H5N1 vaccines
for cattle. Poultry vaccines do exist and are used heavily in China,
with some marked successes. A crash program to develop a cattle
equivalent might make sense, says Carol Cardona, an avian influenza
specialist and poultry veterinarian at UM Twin Cities. If vaccinations
can reduce viral spread, they might offer some secondary protection to
dairy workers. “The person-to-cow ratio is so much higher than the
person-to-chicken ratio,” notes Cardona, putting many more workers at
risk. The cattle infections are “a game changer,” she adds. “I think
it’s all hands on deck.”David Swayne, who formerly ran USDA’s avian
influenza research lab, says it would be possible to quickly make a new
cattle vaccine by modifying one now used in swine. And unlike the bird
vaccines, which are banned in the U.S. due in part to international
trade concerns, swine vaccination is already “widely accepted,” Swayne
says.The U.S. government stockpiles an H5N1 vaccine for humans, and CDC
said in a statement today that vaccines developed for related viruses
“are available for vaccine manufacturing” if preliminary studies show
they protect against 2.3.4.4b. “As a protective measure you can imagine
vaccinating dairy workers,” Kuiken says.The human infection in Texas has
echoes of a massive outbreak of another highly pathogenic avian
influenza virus, H7N7, in poultry flocks in the Netherlands in 2003 that
Kuiken studied. Hundreds of people developed conjunctivitis, mainly
during culling of infected flocks, and there was some evidence of
human-to-human transmission. One veterinarian died.Kuiken advises the
U.S. to restrict the movement of cattle to limit the spread of the
virus. “I would take the precautionary principle and say, ‘OK, until we
know what’s going on, let’s put a standstill on this,’” he says.But that
is a controversial idea because the dairy industry relies on trucking
cows south over the winters and then returning them north. And Armstrong
doubts halting cattle transports would have much impact if migratory
birds prove to be the main route of transmission. Many bird species are
currently moving north and may be taking the virus with them. “It would
be very surprising if it wasn’t already everywhere,” Armstrong says,
noting how difficult it is for farms to keep out birds. “We have to
protect people, but we also have to … make sure we’re not crippling the
industry,” he says.As to H5N1’s future, Cardona says we should continue
to expect the unexpected. “The virus is making up new dances,” she says.
“It’s broken the rules on everything.”
Biden to host Muslim
leaders for scaled-down Iftar dinner amid strains over Gaza
war-President invites small group of community leaders to White House to
join Harris and Muslim staffers as administration seeks to ease
tensions over support for Israel-By AP and ToI Staff Today, 7:08 pm-APR
2,24
WASHINGTON — US President Joe Biden was to host a small
group of Muslim American community leaders at the White House for a
meeting on Tuesday followed by a scaled-down Iftar dinner, as he seeks
to relieve tensions over his administration’s staunch support for
Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza.Biden and US Vice President Kamala
Harris will be joined by Muslim staffers in the Democratic
administration and senior national security aides, a White House
official said, in the most high-profile engagement yet between the White
House and the Muslim American community since the war began six months
ago. Staffers will then join the president for a dinner to break the
fast during the holy Islamic month of Ramadan.The White House did not
immediately name the community members who would join the meeting.For
the past two years, Biden has held large receptions to mark Ramadan and
Eid at the White House, but those plans were shelved this year amid the
war, which began on October 7 when Palestinian terror group Hamas led a
massive cross-border attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people, most of
them civilians, and took another 253 hostages.Israel responded with a
military offensive to destroy Hamas, topple its regime in Gaza, and free
the hostages, of whom 130 remain in captivity.The Hamas-run health
ministry in Gaza claims that more than 32,000 Palestinians have been
killed by Israel in the war, but the number cannot be independently
verified and is believed to include both Hamas terrorists and civilians.
The IDF says it has killed over 13,000 terrorists in Gaza, in addition
to some 1,000 who were killed inside Israel on and immediately following
October 7. The IDF has lost 256 soldiers fighting in Gaza.Efforts to
secure even a temporary ceasefire deal that would have included the
release of hostages before the start of Ramadan failed. Though
negotiations via international mediators continue, there has been no
breakthrough.White House officials previously traveled to Detroit
earlier this year and faced an icy reception from Muslim American
community leaders in the swing state, where more than 100,000 Democratic
primary voters cast protest votes for “uncommitted” as part of an
organized showing of disapproval for Biden’s posture toward the
conflict.News of Biden’s meeting was first reported by National Public
Radio.
Officials condemn anti-Israel, antisemitic graffiti at 2
Pennsylvania synagogues-PA governor, CNN anchor and community leaders
decry recent vandalism of Philadelphia-area Jewish institutions with
swastika, ‘From the river to the sea’By JTA and ToI Staff Today, 2:27
pm-APR 2,24
Two Philadelphia-area Conservative synagogues were
vandalized in similar incidents over the past several days, the latest
in a growing number of Jewish institutions to be targeted since war
erupted in Gaza after Hamas’s October 7 massacre.The incidents prompted
rebuke from Pennsylvania’s Jewish governor, Josh Shapiro, as well as
from national figures including CNN anchor Jake Tapper, who is Jewish
and had his bar mitzvah at one of the targeted synagogues.That
synagogue, Temple Beth Hillel-Beth El in the suburb of Wynnewood, had a
banner expressing solidarity with Israel tagged with a swastika over the
weekend. Another synagogue, Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel in Center
City, had graffiti spray-painted on the sidewalk by its entrance last
week.“This is the second message I’ve written like this in as many days.
It’s two too many,” Shapiro wrote on X, formerly Twitter, Sunday while
linking to a story about the Beth Hillel-Beth El graffiti. “Antisemitism
and the vandalism of a house of worship of any kind have no place in
this Commonwealth.”Other Jewish institutions have been targeted across
the country in the wake of the war, including in the Philadelphia region
just weeks ago: “Free Gaza” graffiti was spray-painted on a
Jewish-owned business in nearby Narberth on March 15. The business owner
is an Israeli who has relatives being held hostage by Hamas in
Gaza.Last week federal authorities also charged a West Michigan man with
damaging religious property after he spray-painted swastikas onto a
Chabad house in Kalamazoo in November and defaced a large menorah posted
outside the center.But the prominence and proximity of these two
synagogues made the recent incidents stand out.“Last night someone spray
painted a swastika at the synagogue where i was bar mitzvahed,” Tapper
wrote on X Sunday.It was the second time in as many weeks that Beth
Hillel-Beth El’s Israel banner had been defaced. The first time the
previous weekend, nondescript paint was splashed onto the banner, which
reads, “Our Community Stands With Israel.” The community replaced the
banner the next day and intends to do so again now that it’s been
defaced for the second time, its senior rabbi told the Jewish
Telegraphic Agency.Last night someone spray painted a swastika at the
synagogue where i was bar mitzvahed, Temple Beth Hillel/Beth El in

March 31, 2024-“Thank God the community is OK,” Rabbi Ethan Witkowsky
said. “We’re shaken, but we’re strong and we’re healthy and safe.”The
synagogue’s leadership offered a more pointed rebuke of the graffiti on
Facebook. “A swastika is not a commentary on the policies of the State
of Israel, nor is it a sign of solidarity with Palestinians,” they wrote
over the weekend. “It is a symbol of hatred and division.”Leadership at
Temple Beth Zion-Beth Israel did not immediately return requests for
comment. But local reports of that synagogue’s graffiti indicate that it
was more explicitly connected to Israel than the Beth Hillel-Beth El
case.Security footage shows two women using stencils to spray-paint a
phrase outside the synagogue. Andrew Goretsky, the Anti-Defamation
League’s regional Philadelphia director, told JTA that the phrase was
the disputed anti-Israel, pro-Palestinian rallying cry “From the river
to the sea,” which many Jews consider to be a call for the destruction
of the state of Israel.“As a Jewish person, when we hear ‘From the river
to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ we hear a threat to half of the
people in the entire world who share our identity,” Goretsky told local
news outlets. Approximately half of the world’s Jewish population lives
in Israel.Authorities have not indicated whether they see the cases as
connected. While Shapiro wrote on X that the Pennsylvania State Police
is “coordinating with our law enforcement partners” on the incidents, a
spokesperson for the state police told JTA that local authorities had
rejected their offer of help and were handling each case in their own
jurisdiction.Regardless, local Jewish leaders told JTA they appreciated
the broader shows of support.“It is heartwarming to have our officials
care about this,” Witkowsky told JTA. “In many ways I think that the
great fear of our community is not that someone would paint a swastika
on the sign. It’s that someone would paint a swastika on the sign, and
no one would care.”The war in Gaza erupted after Hamas’s October 7
massacre, which saw some 3,000 terrorists burst across the border into
Israel by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 253
hostages, amid horrific acts of brutality and sexual assault.

Drone
explodes in Jordan near southern Israel’s Ramon Airport-Aircraft of
unknown origin strikes open area some 200 meters from the border
northeast of Eilat-By Emanuel Fabian-Today, 1:38 pm-APR 2,24
A
suspected explosive-laden drone of unknown origin struck an open area in
Jordan close to Israel’s Ramon Airport, which is near the border, the
military and authorities said Tuesday.In a statement, the Israel Defense
Forces said that the “suspicious aerial target” — believed by the army
to be a drone — struck an area “outside of Israeli territory northeast
of the city of Eilat.”“The incident has concluded and the details are
under review,” the IDF said.According to a spokesperson for the Eilat
municipality, the drone impacted around 200 meters (656 feet) from the
Israel-Jordan border, just north of airport. The Israel Airports
Authority also said there was no strike at the airport itself.Images
from the scene showed a fire at the location where the drone hit.There
were no reports of damage or injuries.
Ramon Airport is located some
18 kilometers (11 miles) from Eilat, Israel’s southernmost city, and is
adjacent to the border with Jordan.The incident came following several
drone attacks on Israel by the Islamic Resistance of Iraq, a coalition
of Iran-backed paramilitary groups.Early Monday, a drone launched by the
Iraqi militia struck an Israeli Navy base in Eilat, causing slight
damage to a hangar.On Sunday, the IDF said a fighter jet had intercepted
“a suspicious aerial target” — also thought to be a drone — that was
making its way toward Israel from the direction of Syria.Most of the
drones launched by the Islamic Resistance of Iraq have failed to cross
Israel’s border or were downed by air defenses.Eilat has come under
attack by other Iran-backed groups amid the war in the Gaza Strip,
including Yemen’s Houthis and a group in Syria linked to Lebanon’s
Hezbollah.In November, a school in Eilat was hit by a drone launched
from Syria, and last month, a cruise missile fired from Yemen struck an
open area north of the city.

Today, 2:58 pmUpdated at 3:15 pm-APR 2,24
Facing searing
criticism on Tuesday, Israel acknowledged mistakenly carrying out
strikes that killed seven staff members of a US-based charity group who
were unloading food brought by sea to the war-torn Gaza Strip.The group
World Central Kitchen said it was pausing operations after a “targeted
Israeli strike” on Monday killed three British and four other staffers —
an Australian, a Palestinian, a Pole and a US-Canadian.Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged a “tragic” and “unintentional” incident
and vowed to “do everything” to prevent a recurrence.The Israeli
military promised to investigate the incident “at the highest
levels.”IDF Spokesman Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said in an
English-language statement that he had spoken to WCK founder Chef Jose
Anders, “and expressed the deepest condolences of the Israel Defense
Forces to the families and the entire World Central Kitchen family.”He
added that the IDF had expressed “sincere sorrow to our allied nations
who have been doing and continue to do so much to assist those in need.
We have been reviewing the incident at the highest levels to understand
the circumstances of what happened and how it happened,” he said.“We
will get to the bottom of this and we will share our findings
transparently,” Hagari added.WCK has been working to unload food brought
to Gaza by sea from Cyprus amid a push to increase aid to the Strip
amid increasing fears of widespread famine. The killing of its aid
workers compounds already intense criticism Israel has faced including
accusations that it was withholding aid from the hunger-stricken
region.The White House was “heartbroken,” US National Security Council
spokesperson Adrienne Watson wrote on X, stressing that relief workers
“must be protected as they deliver aid that is desperately needed.”“I am
heartbroken and appalled that we — World Central Kitchen and the world —
lost beautiful lives today because of a targeted attack by the IDF,”
WCK’s CEO Erin Gore said“This is not only an attack against WCK, this is
an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of
situations where food is being used as a weapon of war,” she added.
“This is unforgivable.”The bodies of the aid workers killed were taken
to a hospital mortuary in the central Gaza town of Deir al-Balah, an AFP
photographer reported. One of them was laid on a makeshift stretcher,
wearing a top emblazoned with the WCK name and logo.The aid group said
the team had been traveling in a “de-conflicted” area in a convoy of
“two armored cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle” at
the time of the strike.“Despite coordinating movements with the (Israeli
army), the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah
warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of
humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route,” it
said.The three vehicles were targeted over a distance of around 2
kilometers.According to a report by the Haaretz daily, a Hermes 450 UAV
fired three missiles at the convoy in quick succession despite the
vehicles being clearly marked on their roof as being part of WCK. The
decision was made by a unit guarding the aid transport route after
troops earlier spotted what appeared to be an armed figure riding on a
truck that entered an aid storage area with three WCK cars. The attack
occurred moments after the three cars left the storage area, leaving the
truck and the armed figure behind, according to the report.After a
missile hit one car, those inside evacuated to the other two cars, and
managed to report they had been attacked before a second missile hit
another car. As the last unharmed car approached to evacuate the
wounded, a third missile hit. All seven people who had been in the
vehicles were killed, Haaretz reported.Seven aid workers were killed
when their vehicles were hit by Israeli airstrikes as they left their
Deir al-Balah warehouse to deliver aid supplies inside Gaza.

Spokesman Hagari said in his video statement that the IDF’s General
Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism — an independent military body
responsible for investigating unusual incidents amid the war — would
probe the “serious incident.”“This will help us reduce the risk of such
an event from occurring again,” he said.“For the last few months, the
IDF has been working closely with the World Central Kitchen to assist
them in fulfilling their noble mission of helping bring food and
humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. WCK also came to help Israelis
after the massacre of October 7th; they were one of the first NGOs
here,” Hagari continued. “The work of WCK is critical; they are on the
frontlines of humanity,” he said.The IDF acknowledged to The Times of
Israel that it had carried out the strike, although it said it did not
know the full circumstances yet. Regardless, the IDF said the strike was
a serious incident that should not have happened.An initial IDF probe
into the incident was expected to be released to the public in the
coming days, as the General Staff Fact-Finding Assessment Mechanism
carries out a more in-depth investigation.IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen.
Herzi Halevi was personally involved in the military’s response to the
incident, including updating the head of the US Central Command on the
strike.Halevi was due to meet Tuesday with the head of the IDF Southern
Command, Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, at the unit’s base in Beersheba, to
be briefed on the military’s initial probe into the strike.The chief of
staff was also set to inaugurate a new joint command center with the
Defense Ministry’s Coordination of Government Activities in the
Territories (COGAT), aimed at better coordinating the humanitarian
activity in the Gaza Strip.Netanyahu said that the IDF “unintentionally”
killed the seven aid workers.“Unfortunately, in the last day there was a
tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people in
the Gaza Strip,” he said as he left a hospital in Jerusalem after a
hernia operation.“It happens in war; we will investigate it right to the
end… We are in contact with the governments, and we will do everything
so that this thing does not happen again,” he said.The president of the
city of Przemysl, in southeastern Poland, identified the Polish WCK
volunteer who was killed as Damian Sobol.Poland’s foreign minister
Radoslaw Sikorski wrote on X that he had asked the Israeli ambassador in
Warsaw for “urgent explanations.”“He assured me that Poland would soon
receive the results of the investigation into this tragedy. I join in my
condolences to the family of our brave volunteer and all civilian
victims in the Gaza Strip,” Sikorski said.The Polish foreign ministry
posted on X that “Poland objects to the disregard for international
humanitarian law and the protection of civilians, including humanitarian
workers.”Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese named the slain
Australian aid worker as 44-year-old Lalzawmi “Zomi” Frankcom, and said
his government had contacted Israel to demand that those responsible be
held accountable.“This is a human tragedy that should never have
occurred, that is completely unacceptable and Australia will seek full
and proper accountability,” he told a press conference on
Tuesday.Albanese said innocent civilians and humanitarian workers needed
to be protected and reiterated his call for a sustainable ceasefire in
Gaza along with more aid to help those suffering from “tremendous
deprivation.”EU foreign policy chief Josep Borrell wrote on X, “I
condemn the attack and urge an investigation. Despite all the demands to
protect civilians and humanitarian workers, we see new innocent
casualties,” adding that the incident further strengthens the need for
an immediate ceasefire.I pay tribute to the @WCKitchen staff members
killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.I condemn the attack and urge an
investigation.Despite all the demands to protect civilians and
humanitarian workers, we see new innocent casualties. Josep Borrell
Fontelles (@JosepBorrellF) April 2, 2024-The president of Cyprus, from
where WCK sent aid to the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday called for an immediate
probe into the killing of the organization’s workers.“We need to double
down on efforts to get aid to Gaza,” Nikos Christodoulides said, after a
meeting with European Parliament President Roberta Metsola, telling
reporters the maritime corridor for aid from his country to Gaza would
continue to operate.After visiting the Jabal al-Hussein Palestinian
refugee camp in Amman, Jordan, on Tuesday, Spanish premier Pedro Sanchez
said: “I hope and demand that the Israeli government clarifies as soon
as possible the circumstances of this brutal attack that has taken the
lives of seven aid workers who were doing nothing more than
helping.”Founded by Spanish-American celebrity chef José Andrés in the
wake of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, WCK is one of the largest charities
working in Gaza. An apolitical group, it has earned the appreciation of
Israel’s government for its help with Israelis displaced after October
7. It has been a trailblazer in transferring aid into Gaza, going so far
as to construct an improvised pier out of debris on which to land
supplies for the embattled enclave.Israel has faced intense
international pressure to ensure more aid gets into the Strip,
especially hard-to-reach areas of northern Gaza, amid repeated warnings
that the population faces starvation and famine.

blaze, news channel NTV reported.Istanbul’s newly re-elected mayor Ekrem
Imamoglu, who rushed to the scene, said “the fire is under control.
Let’s hope there are no further victims,” offering his “condolences” to
the relatives of the dead and injured.
