Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has demanded \u201cfull accountability\u201d over the death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Frankcom was one of four international aid workers that Palestinian officials say were killed along with their Palestinian driver on Monday in an Israeli air attack in central Gaza\u2019s Deir el-Balah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking at a news conference in Brisbane, Albanese said Frankcom\u2019s death was \u201ccompletely unacceptable\u201d and \u201cbeyond any reasonable circumstances\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis news today is tragic. DFAT have also requested a call-in from the Israeli ambassador as well,\u201d Albanese said, referring to Australia\u2019s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe want full accountability for this. This is a tragedy that should never have occurred.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe truth is that this is beyond any reasonable circumstances that someone going about providing aid and humanitarian assistance should lose their life and there were four aid workers as well as a Palestinian driver in this vehicle,\u201d Albanese added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Albanese also reiterated calls for a \u201csustainable ceasefire\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAustralians want to see an end to this conflict,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DFAT said earlier in a statement that Australia has been \u201cvery clear that we expect humanitarian workers in Gaza to have safe and unimpeded access to do their lifesaving work\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
