The World Central Kitchen aid group says an Israeli strike struck one of its food distribution sites in Gaza yesterday as meals were being passed out.

WCK says one of its local volunteers, Jalal, was killed and six other people were injured in the attack.

The IDF says it is probing the incident and is in touch with WCK.

“We will continue to support community kitchens throughout the region and operate our field kitchens where possible, based on daily assessments. We hope for peace for all and a lasting ceasefire,” WCK tweets.
