US Activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi Killed in West Bank Protest

The families of two individuals killed by Israeli forces during protests and strikes are demanding independent investigations into their deaths. Aysenur Ezgi Eygi, a 26-year-old US citizen and activist, was shot during a demonstration in Beita against Israeli settlement expansion, prompting her family to call for accountability from US officials and an independent inquiry, citing an inadequate Israeli investigation. Meanwhile, the family of James Kirby, a British aid worker killed in an Israeli airstrike on a food convoy in Gaza, also seeks a thorough inquiry, expressing frustration over a lack of communication from Israeli officials and the UK government regarding the incident. Both families lament the loss of their loved ones and stress the need for accountability and protection for activists and aid workers in conflict zones. Eygi is noted as the only non-Palestinian protester killed in Beita, while Kirby's death was part of a larger tragedy involving the deaths of several aid workers. Both cases highlight the escalating violence and the need for international scrutiny in the region.
