'I am heartbroken and appalled that we—World Central Kitchen and the world—lost beautiful lives today because of a targeted attack by the IDF. It is one of two NGOs spearheading efforts to deliver aid to Gaza by boat from Cyprus and was also involved in the construction of a temporary jetty. Gaza medical officials said earlier an apparent Israeli airstrike killed four international aid workers with the US-based international aid charity and their Palestinian driver.

The source of strike could not be independently confirmed, but IDF will be 'conducting a thorough review' of the strike, Israel National News reported. The Israeli army, in a statement, said: 'Following the reports regarding the World Central Kitchen personnel in Gaza today, the IDF is conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident.

'We do know that we've urged Israel to do more to protect civilians, but also to allow aid to get into Gaza. He added: 'This has been one of the most dangerous places in living memory to operate, Gaza is breaking too many bleak records - numbers of children killed, number of people facing catastrophic hunger, record displacement, worst devastation to homes in living memory and largest number of United Nations colleagues killed since it was created.'

Last month a ship delivered 200 tons of aid in a pilot run. The Israeli military was involved in coordinating both deliveries. Footage showed widespread devastation, with the facility's main buildings reduced to burned-out husks.
