Gaza: Charity 'pausing operations' after its aid workers killed in air strike - BBC News Israel-Gaza latest news: Charity 'pausing operations' after its aid workers killed in air strike - BBC News
(32 minutes later)
A spokesman for the UN children's aid organisation, Unicef, tells the BBC that the seven aid worker deaths clearly show how dangerous the situation in Gaza has become. Here is the full statement from the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) about the suspected air strike:
Speaking to Radio 4's Today programme, James Elder describes the killing of the World Central Kitchen workers as "utterly horrifying" and an "immense tragedy". 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.
He adds the deaths "underscores the horrendous conditions everyone continues to endure in Gaza" but it is just such a senseless loss of life". The IDF makes extensive efforts to enable the safe delivery of humanitarian aid, and has been working closely with WCK in their vital efforts to provide food and humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza."
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."
