The strike highlighted the dangerous work of delivering aid in Gaza, where the war has displaced much of the 2.3 million population and caused widespread hunger.

• An Israeli airstrike in Khan Younis targeted a World Central Kitchen (WCK) vehicle, killing five people, including three aid workers. • Witnesses reported that two bystanders trying to assist after the first strike were killed in a subsequent “double-tap” strike.

Israel said the target of the strike was involved in the October 7 attacks and also worked at the charity World Central Kitchen.
