An Israeli airstrike hit a car in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, killing five people, including at least three employees with the food aid charity. World Central Kitchen said that it was "urgently seeking more details."
"They risked everything to feed people they did not know," the chef and founder of the humanitarian group said of the seven aid workers who were killed in an Israeli air strike in Gaza.
Humanitarian aid trucks sit at Gaza's border. Yet Israeli officials deny aid groups' accusations that they're restricting aid or that Palestinians in Gaza are starving.
An investigation by the Israeli military's general staff concluded the airstrike, which killed seven aid workers, violated its standards and "should not have occurred."
President Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after seven aid workers with World Central Kitchen were killed in Israeli strikes. He said a cease-fire is needed so aid can get in.
Countries including Canada, the Netherlands and Spain say they're suspending arms sales to Israel. After an Israeli strike killed British World Central Kitchen workers in Gaza, will the U.K. too?
Three of those killed by an Israeli airstrike were British and the others were Australian, Palestinian, Polish and a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada.
World Central Kitchen has long brought food to war zones and disaster areas around the world. The deaths of seven of its workers in Gaza come on top of the loss of six workers in Ukraine.
