International food charity says seven of its workers killed in Israeli airstrike

Several staff of the non-profit World Central Kitchen were killed in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza overnight, the organization's founder José Andrés wrote on social media site X.

"Today @WCKitchen lost several of our sisters and brothers in an IDF air strike in Gaza. I am heartbroken and grieving for their families and friends and our whole WCK family ... The Israeli government needs to stop this indiscriminate killing," Andres wrote.

The Israeli military said in a statement early Tuesday, cited by the New York Times, that it was "conducting a thorough review at the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incident."
