US-based aid group World Central Kitchen confirmed in a press statement that seven of its team members were killed in a targeted attack by the Israeli military tanks and warplanes.
The organization called on Israel to stop “this indiscriminate killing” in Gaza.
It further stressed that among the victims were citizens "from Australia, Poland, the United Kingdom, a citizen holding dual American and Canadian citizenship, and a Palestinian."

Additionally, 75,494 individuals have been injured, with thousands still missing under the rubble and on the streets. The Israeli occupation continues to obstruct ambulance and rescue teams from reaching them.
