(32 minutes later)
Israel's Defence Minister Yoav Gallant has announced he will establish a "professional investigation team" after an airstrike killed seven aid workers in Gaza, an incident that Israel earlier described as "unintentional". Hugo Bachega
Gallant posted on the social media platform X that the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) will open a "joint situation room" with international aid agencies so they can coordinate on the ground. Middle East correspondent, in Jerusalem
He says Israel was "committed" to working with international partners to facilitate the distribution of aid and that it would allocate resources to that end. The World Central Kitchen team was travelling at night in a clearly marked convoy of three cars, on a coastal road in central Gaza.
Gallant goes on to describe the incident as "tragic" and adds that it "will be investigated thoroughly". The IDF, he says, will update aid agencies on the action it was taking. The organisation said the group had left a warehouse after unloading 100 tonnes of humanitarian aid and that its movements had been co-ordinated with the Israeli military.
The three cars were struck separately by the Israeli military, for reasons that are still not clear.
Video posted online showed several bodies, some of them wearing bullet proof vests bearing the organisation’s logo.
Seven workers were killed, including three British nationals and citizens from the United States, Poland and Australia.
