Tragedy struck in Gaza as seven aid workers, including multiple foreigners, were killed in an Israeli military strike. The team, associated with the non-profit group World Central Kitchen, was delivering food to starving civilians in the besieged enclave.
According to World Central Kitchen, the aid workers were traveling in a 'deconflicted zone' in two armored cars branded with the charity's logo, along with a 'soft skin vehicle.' Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse after unloading over 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza via the maritime route.
