As the Times of Israel website writes, according to Palestinian media the four deceased World Central Kitchen employees were foreigners from Poland, Australia, Ireland and the United Kingdom.
According to the AP agency, there is a video on the Internet showing the bodies of five deceased people lying at Al-Aqsa hospital in the town of Deir al-Balah, in the center of the Gaza Strip. They wear protective equipment bearing the association’s logo.
An Israeli missile hit the car of World Central Kitchen employees just after crossing the border into the northern Gaza Strip. The organization’s staff helped deliver the aid that had arrived a few hours earlier by boat from Cyprus.
