Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed that aid worker Lalzawmi 'Zomi' Frankcom had been killed in an airstrike in Gaza and demanded accountability for her death.
Prime Minister Anthony Albanese says the Australian government is demanding "full accountability" with a request for a call-in from the Israeli ambassador over the death of Australian aid worker Lalzawmi Frankcom in what Palestinian officials said was an apparent Israeli airstrike in Gaza. "We want full accountability for this, this is a tragedy that should never have occurred," Albanese told reporters on Tuesday.
"The IDF makes extensive efforts to enable the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, and has been working closely with WCK in their vital efforts to provide food and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza," it added. World Central Kitchen board member Robert Egger paid tribute to Frankcom and her colleagues. "Sending love, sorrow and solidarity to my brothers and sisters at World Central Kitchen," he said on Facebook.
