Israeli air strike kills aid workers

An Israeli air strike has killed seven people working for the food aid charity World Central Kitchen in Gaza.

They were part of an aid convoy travelling in two armoured cars with their charity's logo on the roofs of the vehicles.

The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said it was conducting a "thorough review" into the incident - Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has described the incident as “tragic and unintended”

Another humanitarian organisation in Gaza, ANERA - American Near East Refugee Aid - have also decided to pause operations following the attack.
