Food Charity Halts Gaza Operations

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The World Central Kitchen aid group says an apparent Israeli airstrike killed six of its international workers and their Palestinian driver. They were delivering food from the charity’s latest sea shipment to Gaza, where hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been pushed to the brink of famine by Israel’s offensive against Hamas. Those killed include three British nationals, an Australian, a Polish national and an American-Canadian dual citizen. The source of fire late Monday could not be independently confirmed. The Israeli military said it was conducting a review “to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.” The food charity, founded by celebrity chef José Andrés, said it was immediately suspending operations in the region.
