Aid workers including an Australian and two people said to be British and Polish have been killed in Gaza, in what their charity founder said was an Israeli attack.
World Central Kitchen founder and chef José Andrés said his staff had been killed "in an IDF air strike".
Those killed in the incident in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah included citizens of Poland, Australia and Britain, as well as one Palestinian, a spokesperson for the media office said.
Gaza's Hamas-run media office also blamed Israel. The alleged strike could not be verified independently.
Israel's military said it was conducting a "thorough review".
