The bodies of six foreign aid workers killed in a Gaza strike are expected to be transported out of the war-torn Palestinian territory today as Israel faces a chorus of outrage over their deaths.

The remains of the six international staff, who were killed alongside one Palestinian colleague, are set to be taken out of Gaza through the Rafah crossing with Egypt, says Marwan Al-Hams, director of the city’s Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital.
