Australian leader says the death of Australian aid worker is ‘completely unacceptable’.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has demanded “full accountability” over the death of Australian aid worker Zomi Frankcom in Gaza.
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’s Deir el-Balah.
Speaking at a news conference in Brisbane, Albanese said Frankcom’s death was “completely unacceptable” and “beyond any reasonable circumstances”.
“This news today is tragic. DFAT have also requested a call-in from the Israeli ambassador as well,” Albanese said, referring to Australia’s Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
“We want full accountability for this. This is a tragedy that should never have occurred.”
