"USAID Contractor's Death in Gaza Air Strike Sparks Outcry"
A contractor for USAID in Gaza, along with his wife and two young daughters, was killed in an Israeli air strike in November, according to his employer, non-profit organization Global Communities. The family had sought safety in the residence of the contractor's in-laws after fleeing air strikes in their own neighborhood. The incident has led to calls for accountability from Israel, and the United States is raising concerns about the safety of humanitarian workers and access to assistance. The Israeli Defense Forces did not confirm or deny responsibility but stated that they follow international law and take precautions to mitigate civilian harm.
