The foreign ministries of Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom condemned Israel’s decision to close the investigation into drone strikes on a World Central Kitchen convoy in Gaza on 1 April 2024. The attack killed seven humanitarian workers, including nationals of the UK, Australia, and a dual Canada-US citizen. The Israel Defense Forces initially described the incident as a ‘serious mistake and failure.’ The ministries criticized the IDF’s announcement on 19 August 2026, which stated no criminal investigations would be pursued, calling it ‘shameful’ and ‘too little, too late.’ They emphasized the victims’ families deserve justice and accountability, while highlighting ongoing concerns about lack of accountability in Gaza. The statement also noted 186 humanitarian workers were killed in 2025, underscoring the dangers faced by aid workers.
