The workers were helping to deliver aid that had arrived hours earlier on a ship from Cyprus, when their car was hit by the airstrike.
A British volunteer is among five aid workers who have died after an airstrike in the Gaza Strip, according to a Hamas-run government office. Nationals from Poland and Australia were also killed, as well as one Palestinian, who was driving the car they were all travelling in. The nationality of the fifth person remains unknown. All were employees for World Central Kitchen, a charity which provides food for displaced Palestinians.
Ismail al Thawabta, a spokesperson for the Gaza government's media office, said Israel was responsible for their deaths. The Israeli military said it is 'conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident'.
