Jacob Flickinger, 33, is named as American food charity worker killed by Israeli airstrike in Gaza

[MAIL] An American nonprofit worker killed by an Israeli airstrike in Gaza has been named as 33-year-old Jacob Flickinger.

Flickinger was one of seven slain by an IDF strike as he and his colleagues from the World Central Kitchen worked to distribute aid to Palestinians.

They were in a convoy of three cars Monday night when hellfire missiles struck their vehicles.

The incident has sparked international outrage and has heaped more pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his response to the October 7 terror attacks, which killed 1,200 Israelis and resulted in more than 30,000 Gazans perishing in retaliatory strikes.

In a statement, World Central Kitchen named Flickinger as one of seven 'beautiful souls' killed during the attack.

President Joe Biden also released a statement in the aftermath of the attack, saying: 'I am outraged and heartbroken by the deaths of seven humanitarian workers from World Central Kitchen, including one American, in Gaza yesterday. They were providing food to hungry civilians in the middle of a war. They were brave and selfless. Their deaths are a tragedy.'

#3 I really used to enjoy Chef Andres and his approach to food and life. Then he went full woke and lost all the joy in life - and that's how we end up here. He put his people in danger for his personal beliefs and now we have dead bodies to deal with.
