Israeli strike kills World Central Kitchen staff
Hindustan Times|December 01, 2024
An Israeli airstrike on a car in the Gaza Strip on Saturday killed five people including employees of World Central Kitchen (WCK), and the charity said it was "urgently seeking more details" after Israel's military said it targeted a WCK worker who had been part of the Hamas attack that sparked the war.

WCK in an email said it was "heartbroken" by the airstrike and that it had no knowledge anyone in the car had alleged ties to the October 7, 2023 attack, saying it was "working with incomplete information." It said it was pausing operations in Gaza.

The charity's aid delivery efforts in Gaza were temporarily suspended earlier this year after an Israeli strike killed seven of its workers, most of them foreigners.
