Seven people working for the food aid charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza.

Three of them were British and Foreign Secretary David Cameron has called on Israel to “urgently explain how this happened”.

BBC Verify has been studying images of the aftermath of the attack, shared on social media, to try to piece together what we know about the incident.

The charity says the aid workers were travelling in three cars – two of them armoured.

It says the convoy’s movements had been co-ordinated with the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

The convoy had dropped off more than 100 tonnes of food supplies at a warehouse in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, according to the charity.
