Sandy Leclerc, partner of Jacob Flickinger, one of the seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers killed in Gaza, is demanding answers following the deadly attack. Flickinger, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen and Canadian military veteran, tragically lost his life in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza earlier this week.
Described as a loving father and warrior by Leclerc, Flickinger was dedicated to bringing peace into the world and helping those in need. The attack, which claimed the lives of seven humanitarian workers, including Flickinger, has sparked an international outcry. President Joe Biden expressed his outrage over the incident and Leclerc is urging him to provide the truth of what happened.
WCK, an organization that has served over 33 million meals since the start of the conflict, has called for an independent and international investigation into the airstrike. Israeli officials claim the attack was a “grave mistake,” but WCK refutes this, alleging that the vehicles were targeted.
Following the tragic loss of their colleagues, WCK has paused its operations in Gaza. However, a March report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warned that famine is imminent in northern Gaza. The killing of humanitarian workers who were dedicated to providing aid to those in need has raised questions about the safety of humanitarian efforts in conflict zones. The global community awaits the results of the investigation to uncover the truth behind this devastating attack.
