- World Central Kitchen aid workers killed in Israeli attack in Gaza’s Khan YounisReporting from Deir el-Balah, GazaA civil car belonging to the World Central Kitchen (WCK) was targeted by an Israeli drone on the Salah al-Din Street in the eastern side of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis city.Five civilians were killed, including three of the WCK workers without any prior warning.One of the victims is the director of the charity kitchens here in the Gaza Strip. They are local Palestinians working for the WCK and they were targeted as they were trying to reach one of the places they were operating in.This is a sign that Israel is escalating its strikes on aid workers.In April, seven international aid workers of the WCK were targeted in Deir el-Balah while they were travelling in three vehicles belonging to the organisation, with clear WCK signage attached to the car.The Israeli military at the time justified the attack to be a sort of misidentification but the bleak reality is that in the past few weeks there has been a surge in attacks on buildings considered to be warehouses for the aid organisation.

- ‘Apocalyptic’: Death toll mounts from intense Israeli attacks on GazaReporting from Deir el-Balah, Gaza StripIt’s been another difficult and intense night in multiple areas across the Gaza Strip, specifically we have observed a focus on Gaza City in overnight attacks.We have been getting reports from civil defence crews in Gaza City, confirming that a residential flat was targeted in the Remal neighbourhood, which is considered to be one of the vibrant and densely populated areas in Gaza City.Seven civilians were confirmed killed in the strike, while there are still six others missing under the debris of that building that was targeted with no warning given for civilians in the area.Also, we are getting reports that another residential house in the Sheikh Radwan neighbourhood … was targeted. At least 10 civilians were killed in that strike.Civilians have been reporting on constant shelling by Israeli artillery units, as the Israeli army effectively is still operating in the northern town of Beit Lahiya for almost 58 days now.The situation is getting much more apocalyptic for civilians in the north who are running extremely short in terms of essential supplies like food and water.
