People react in front of a car hit by an Israeli strike in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip in which five people were reported killed, including three World Central Kitchen (WCK) workers, according to a report by the civil defence in the Palestinian territory. AFP

 

Civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Bassal said the bodies of "at least five dead were transported (to hospital), including (those of) the three employees of World Central Kitchen".

"All three [Palestinian] men worked for WCK and they were hit while driving in a WCK jeep in Khan Younis," Bassal said, adding that the vehicle had been "marked with its logo clearly visible".

In April, an Israeli air strike killed seven WCK staff -- an Australian, three Britons, a North American, a Palestinian and a Pole.

Israel's war on Gaza has killed more than 44,382 people, according to figures from the territory's health ministry which the United Nations considers reliable.
