The World Central Kitchen has said it was “devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza”.

In its statement, the WCK said its team was “travelling in a deconflicted zone in two armoured cars branded with the WCK logo and a soft skin vehicle”.

It further said the convoy was hit “despite coordinating movements” with the Israeli military.

“This is not only an attack against WCK; this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable,” the statement quoted WCK CEO Erin Gore as saying.
