Jacob Flickinger, a dual U.S.-Canadian citizen, was tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza while working as a World Central Kitchen aid worker. Along with six other colleagues, Flickinger lost his life in the deadly attack, leaving his partner, Sandy Leclerc, devastated and pleading for answers.

Sandy Leclerc appealed to President Joe Biden to provide them with the truth of what transpired, as she grieves the loss of her partner, a Canadian military veteran and a dedicated father.

World Central Kitchen, the organization Flickinger was working with, has called for an international investigation into the airstrike, which Israeli officials have described as a “grave mistake.” ABC News confirmed the vehicles of the aid workers were hit by at least three separate strikes.

Following the attack, World Central Kitchen temporarily paused its operations in Gaza, where the situation is dire with famine looming in northern areas, according to a report by the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification.

President Biden and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu discussed the incident in a phone call, with Biden stressing that the strikes on humanitarian workers are unacceptable. Netanyahu reportedly promised a prompt and transparent investigation into the tragedy.

The loss of Jacob Flickinger and his colleagues has sent shockwaves through the humanitarian community, with calls for accountability and justice echoing around the world. As Sandy Leclerc continues to seek answers about her partner’s untimely death, the international community awaits the outcome of the investigation into this devastating airstrike in Gaza.
