Responding to reports of the death of a member of the World Central Kitchen organization in the Gaza Strip, the IDF says that “according to a preliminary examination and the information emerging from the conversation with the WCK organization, there is no known incident of harm to an employee of the organization while working in the last few days.”

“The IDF examines each unusual incident individually,” the military adds in response to a query.

WCK said that Nadi Sallout was killed in the Deir al-Balah area, while apparently off duty. It did not assign blame for his death.
