Reporting from the White House Live editor
At the daily White House briefing earlier today, John Kirby, the National Security Council Coordinator for Strategic Communications, told reporters that the US was ‘‘outraged to learn about the strike". It's now 22:25 BST in London and 00:25 in Israel, and with that, we're going to be pausing our live coverage on the Israeli air strike in Gaza that killed seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen (WCK).
Kirby took time to draw attention to the approximately 200 aid workers that have been killed since 7 October in Gaza and laid the responsibility for the safety of aid workers in the region with the Israeli military. There's been a lot of developments to keep track of over the last 24 hours. Israel is now under growing international pressure over the air strike, with senior Western officials and world leaders from the UK, Poland, Australia, Canada and the US, whose nationals died in the attack, all calling for a thorough investigation.
He emphasised that the IDF must work at improving the "deconfliction" process, saying the US would make clear to Israel that humanitarian aid workers in Gaza must be protected. Our colleagues over at BBC Verify have helpfully outlined everything that we can say for certain so far.
There was also confirmation that President Joe Biden had spoken with Chef Jose Andres, the head of World Central Kitchen, and shared his "deepest condolences" with the charity. He also said that the White House fully respected the decision from World Central Kitchen to pause its Gaza operation. It's also worth remembering before we go that WCK is now suspending operations in Gaza. This leaves vital humanitarian aid to the Strip in doubt, as the charity was one of the main aid providers. All while Gaza is on the brink of famine.
