WASHINGTON: The United States wants to see the Israeli investigation into an attack that killed seven Work Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers wrapped up as soon as possible, U.S. State Department spokesperson Matthew Miller said on Wednesday.

Israel needs to put in place better deconfliction and coordination measures to protect humanitarian workers and protect all civilians on the ground, Miller told reporters at a regular news briefing.

He added the attack that killed WCK workers will not affect U.S. efforts to stand up the floating pier off Gaza’s shore to deliver aid.
