Jacob Flickinger, the American father to a baby boy, killed in ‘unforgiveable’ attack on aid workers in Gaza
A dual US-Canadian citizen was among the seven World Central Kitchen aid workers killed in an IDF airstrike while trying to deliver much-needed food to people in Gaza.
Jacob Flickinger, 33, died alongside his colleagues Saifeddin Issam Ayab Abutaha of Palestine, Lalzawmi Frankcom of Australia, Damian Soból of Poland and UK citizens John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby, on Tuesday when the convoy they were riding in was struck.
WCK provides food for people living in disaster zones, including to those in Gaza amid Israel’s ongoing campaign.
The organisation called the aid workers “heroes” and “beautiful souls”, saying they were killed “as they were returning from a full day’s mission”.
