Seven World Central Kitchen aid workers killed in Gaza convoy strike amid disputed intelligence
Seven World Central Kitchen aid workers were killed when an IDF drone strike hit a food-delivery convoy after a night-time departure from Deir al-Balah, Gaza. The incident, part of a broader effort to bring humanitarian aid into a starving Gaza, is disputed: Israeli accounts cite misreading of the convoy as a Hamas threat and ‘guilt by association,’ while WCK and an Australian investigation point to communication gaps and the absence of solid evidence of hijacking. The attack killed seven workers from the UK, Australia, Poland, Palestine and the US, with conflicting narratives prompting calls for an independent investigation into the strikes and the handling of humanitarian convoys.
