World Central Kitchen Says U.S. Citizen Among 7 Staff Killed in ‘Targeted’ Triple Israeli Attack

A dual U.S.-Canadian citizen was among seven food aid workers killed in an Israeli military strike on a humanitarian convoy in Gaza, the World Central Kitchen said Tuesday.

Haaretz reported that the convoy of vehicles, which had coordinated its route through a demilitarized zone with the Israel Defense Forces, was hit three times in succession until the aid workers were all killed. After the first strike, survivors reportedly sought shelter in the other vehicles which were then targeted.

The attack late Monday, which the IDF says is being investigated, struck as the vehicles were leaving a warehouse in central Gaza, WCK said in a statement. The food charity founded by celebrity chef José Andrés said its other staff members killed in the strike were from Australia, the United Kingdom, and Poland.
