Foreign aid workers killed in Gaza 'air strike'


By Emily Atkinson

Four aid workers said to include a Briton, a Pole and an Australian, and their Palestinian driver, have died in what the Hamas-run health ministry says was an Israeli air strike in Gaza.

A Palestinian medical source told the BBC the workers had been wearing bullet-proof vests bearing the World Central Kitchen (WCK) logo.

The US-based NGO described the reported deaths as a “tragedy”.

Israel’s military said it was conducting a “thorough review”.

The medical source at al-Aqsa hospital in the central Gaza Strip told the BBC that the bodies of the four workers had been brought to the hospital after a car they were travelling in on the coastal road was hit by an air strike at Deir al-Balah.

Further details of the alleged attack remain unclear.

Local journalists have shared footage and images of passports they say belong to the killed workers online, identifying people of several different nationalities, but no details have been confirmed.
