According to the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK), seven individuals associated with celebrity chef Jose Andres' organisation were tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza on Monday.
The victims hailed from Australia, Britain, Poland, the United States, Canada, and Palestine.
They were travelling in two armoured vehicles adorned with the WCK logo, along with another vehicle, as stated by WCK in a released statement.
Israel has consistently refuted accusations of obstructing the distribution of essential food aid in Gaza, attributing the challenge to the logistical constraints faced by international aid organisations.
However, despite coordination efforts with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), a convoy was struck while departing from its Deir al-Balah warehouse.
This occurred subsequent to the unloading of over 100 tons of humanitarian food aid, which had been transported to Gaza via sea, as stated by WCK.

In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminated—a goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

In a tragic development, Sgt. Omer Ginzburg, 19, from the Paratroopers Brigade’s 101st Battalion, was killed on August 11, 2024, during intense fighting in the southern Gaza Strip. Ginzburg, a resident of Kiryat Tivon, fell victim to a Hamas-claimed Sniper attack in Khan Younis, a city that has recently seen heavy IDF operations. Ginzburg’s death marks a sombre milestone, bringing the total Israeli casualties in the ongoing conflict with Hamas to 332. This toll includes those killed in both Gaza and along the border. The IDF has been actively targeting Hamas positions in Khan Younis after issuing evacuation orders to civilians in the area, aiming to mitigate harm while conducting military operations.

In a dramatic escalation of hostilities, Israeli fighter jets launched a series of powerful airstrikes on Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon’s Odaisseh, targeting key buildings used by the militant group. The strikes came in response to a barrage of rockets and missiles fired by Hezbollah at northern Israel, including one that hit the evacuated border community of Netu’a. While no injuries were reported, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded with intense artillery fire on the rocket launch sites, amplifying the already volatile situation. The fierce exchange has left the region on edge, with fears of further escalation looming large.
