“What we feared for a long time has now become reality. This is horrible news, Belgian Minister of Development Cooperation Caroline Gennez said in a statement. “I would like to express my most sincere condolences to Abdallah’s family and friends, to his son Jamal, his dad, his brother and his niece, as well as to all our staff at Enabel. Our hearts are broken once again today.
“Last night’s attack claimed the lives of at least seven people and many others were injured,” she added.
Enabel CEO Jean Van Wetter said in a statement: “This is yet another flagrant violation by Israel of international humanitarian law. As the director of a Belgian agency and a former humanitarian worker, I cannot accept that this continues for so long with complete impunity.”
He added: “It is tragic that innocent civilians are victims of this conflict. We must do everything we can to end the violence.
Earlier this month, Israel admitted that its army had killed seven employees of the American charity World Central Kitchen, an attack that sparked a global outcry against the war tactics of the Israel Defense Forces, which the health authorities in Gaza, killed more than 34,000 people. .
Israel has so far neither denied nor claimed responsibility for the attack.
According to the UN, more than 220 aid workers have been killed in Gaza during the ongoing conflict, more than three times the number of aid workers killed in any recorded conflict in a single year.
