Staff of foreign aid organisation killed in Israeli bombing of Gaza
Al Jazeera’s correspondents in the Gaza Strip, citing medical sources, report that four staffers of a UK relief organisation, named Al-Khair, were killed when the Israeli army bombed a warehouse in al-Mawasi, west of Khan Younis in the south.
Aid workers from Al-Khair Foundation were targeted in a distribution point where they were preparing to distribute aid in Khan Younis.
Al-Khair Foundation has been working in the Gaza Strip since day one trying to provide people with food assistance, and with a lot of other commodities, and we lost another four aid workers today.
Al-Khair Foundation is a British foundation and it’s operating from Istanbul, and they have a lot of aid workers here in Gaza.
This is not the first time that Israeli forces have targeted aid workers, they already targeted the World Central Kitchen in April. Aid workers, journalists, paramedics civil defence teams, everyone is a target in Gaza.

UN spokesperson decries killings in Gaza City
UN spokesperson Stephane Dujarric has told Al Jazeera that reports of dozens of bodies being retrieved from Gaza City were “yet another tragic example of the toll on civilians” that the conflict in Gaza is having.
“While this conflict is going on, it is not only impossible to give people the medical support they need, the food they need, the shelter they need, but also the dignified burial that they need,” Dujarric said.
The spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres added that there will be “a need for accountability” when the conflict in Gaza ends. “But right now, people are hungry. People need water. People need medical help. And that’s what we’re trying to do in the middle of a combat zone,” he said.
Israeli army killed dozens in Gaza City in ‘planned massacre’: Official
Director-General of the Government Media Office Ismail al-Thawabta has accused Israeli authorities of carrying out a “planned massacre” that killed dozens in Gaza City.
Al-Thawabta told Al Jazeera Arabic that the Israeli army directed thousands of Palestinians in eastern Gaza City to move to neighbourhoods in the west and south of the city, then opened fire at them once they got there. He said 70 bodies have been retrieved by rescue crews in the area of Tal al-Hawa, and at least 50 people remain missing.
“Some displaced people were pointing to the Israeli army, carrying white flags and saying, ‘We are not fighters; we are displaced.’ But the Israeli occupation army executed these displaced people with cold blood,” al-Thawabta said.
“The Israeli army was planning to carry out that massacre in Tal al-Hawa.” He renewed calls for the international community to pressure Israel to end its “war of extermination” against Palestinians.
