Israel-Gaza latest news: Seven food aid workers killed in Israeli strike in central Gaza - BBC News Israel-Gaza latest news: Seven food aid workers killed in Israeli strike in central Gaza - BBC News

Tributes continue to be paid to Melbourne-born Lalzawmi "Zomi" Frankcom who was killed in the suspected Israeli air strike. IDF spokesman Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari has just issued a video statement.
We have had some more reaction from Australia's foreign minister who expressed "overwhelming sadness" on behalf of the government. He expresses his condolences for the killing of seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers in Gaza, and says that the army is investigating their "tragic death".
Senator Penny Wong says: "Her tireless work to improve the lives of others should never have cost Ms Frankcom her own. Hagari says he had sent "the deepest condolences" of the Israeli army to WCK founder Jose Anders, and expresses "sincere sorrow" to Israel's allies who are helping with aid operations in the Palestinian enclave.
"The government expresses its deepest sympathies to her family and loved ones, just as we mourn all civilian deaths in this conflict." Israeli forces have been working closely with WCK to assist them in "fulfilling their noble mission" of delivering aid to Gaza, he says, and adds they were one of the first NGOs who arrived in Israel after thousands of Israelis were reportedly killed by Hamas.
Senator Wong says the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is supporting Frankcom's family. "The work of WCK is critical; they are on the frontlines of humanity," he says. "We will get to the bottom of this and we will share our findings transparently."
