Aid group World Central Kitchen says seven members of its team have been killed in an Israeli strike on Gaza.
The charity said the volunteers had just unloaded more than 100 tonnes of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza by sea. The foreign nationals killed were from the UK, Australia, Poland, and a dual US-Canadian citizen. Israel Defence Forces spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari offered 'deepest condolences' to the founder of the charity World Central Kitchen over the 'tragic' deaths of its aid workers.
