   World Central Kitchen is devastated to confirm seven members of our team have been killed in an IDF strike in Gaza.
   …
   Despite coordinating movements with the IDF, the convoy was hit
   …
   This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organizations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable
   …
   The seven killed are from Australia, Poland, UK, US, Canada, and Palestine.

     @chuksawa Alongside the over 31,000 other people murdered by Israel – including over 13,000 children – in its ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people.

     Isn't that against the Geneva Convention? This is despicable!

     @adritheonly Quick! Someone tell the US! (Oh, right, sorry, I forgot this genocide was a team effort.)

     Sigh... I know, but the more people who shout the truth, the more attention this gets. BTW I'm South African and don't believe in the US bandage.

     @adritheonly It’s nothing compared to how the Palestinian people must feel.

     Sorry again for me interfering here.

     Maybe we should tell it an accident rather than an attack. For an attack is a willful action to harm and destroy something.

     To my knowledge this wasn't the case here do we are better up to wait on the report of IDF which is looking in the case.

     @aral linking to an archived version of a related Hebrew-language article in Haaretz, for reference:

     https://archive.ph/WQwru#selection-1033.0-1039.354

     This article seems to quote official sources saying that the WCK group was the target of three successive drone strikes, over the course of minutes.

     Aral Balkan repeated this.

     @hko “According to security sources, after the first missile hit, the passengers tried to switch to another vehicle and were attacked a second and third time.”

     Bloody hell.
