Two more bodies were recovered from Deir al-Balah later on, the Palestine Red Crescent Society said on X.<\/p>\n<p>WCK logos were visible on bulletproof vests on at least three of the deceased.<\/p>\n<p>Videos also showed colleagues from WCK identifying the bodies.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These are the people who brought the aid from the sea,&#8221; one said, before crying out as he recognised a Palestinian aid worker killed.<\/p>\n<h3>The route<\/h3>\n<p>WCK said the food supplies had been brought to Gaza &#8220;on the maritime route&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Aid is delivered by sea using a jetty recently constructed by WCK west of Gaza city. The first delivery via the route was on 15 March.<\/p>\n<p>WCK also has a &#8220;Welcome Centre&#8221; along the coastal road for refugees fleeing the north.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear exactly where the Deir al-Balah warehouse is, but WCK recently opened a new field kitchen to the east of Deir al Balah, off Salah al-Din road.<\/p>\n<p>A video shared to their X account last week shows a storage area with a forklift truck as well as food on pallets. This location is roughly 5km from where the first car was struck on the coastal road.<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<hr\/>\n<p>BBC Verify asked the food aid charity for the warehouse location and details of the co-ordinates they shared with Israeli forces but they did not provide any details.<\/p>\n<p>The IDF chief of general staff Herzi Halevi has issued a statement calling the attack &#8220;a mistake that followed a misidentification at night\u2026 it shouldn&#8217;t have happened&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>He said an investigation into the incident would be completed &#8220;in the next coming days&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p><em>BBC Verify is continuing to investigate this incident. <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Additional reporting by Merlyn Thomas, Osob Elmi and Joshua Cheetham<\/em><\/p>\n<figure class=\"caas-figure\">\n<div class=\"caas-figure-with-pb\" style=\"max-height: 150px\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"caas-img-container caas-img-lightbox caas-img-loader\" style=\"padding-bottom:16%\" data-lightbox-src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/LAAm5l6BTdEutD7I1wvSSA--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTI0MDA7aD0zNzY-\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/bbc_us_articles_995\/c02f07a4e9dd5d458cfaadd806fdac51\"><span class=\"caas-img-wrapper\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"caas-img caas-lazy has-preview\" alt=\"BBC Verify logo\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/GTLg5mPJUYMnXPBJlRGenw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTE1MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/bbc_us_articles_995\/c02f07a4e9dd5d458cfaadd806fdac51\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"BBC Verify logo\" src=\"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/ny\/api\/res\/1.2\/GTLg5mPJUYMnXPBJlRGenw--\/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTk2MDtoPTE1MA--\/https:\/\/media.zenfs.com\/en\/bbc_us_articles_995\/c02f07a4e9dd5d458cfaadd806fdac51\" class=\"caas-img\"\/><button class=\"link caas-lightbox\" aria-label=\"View larger image\" data-ylk=\"sec:image-lightbox;slk:lightbox-open;elm:expand;itc:1\"><span class=\"openArrows icon\"><svg width=\"22\" height=\"22\" viewbox=\"0 0 22 22\"><path d=\"M12.372 0.92C12.372 0.414 12.782 0.004 13.287 0.004L21 0L20.996 7.712C20.996 8.217 20.586 8.628 20.08 8.628C19.574 8.628 19.164 8.217 19.164 7.712V3.183L12.337 10.011L10.988 8.663L17.816 1.835H13.287C12.782 1.835 12.372 1.425 12.372 0.92ZM1.835 17.816L8.663 10.988L10.012 12.337L3.183 19.164H7.712C8.218 19.164 8.627 19.574 8.627 20.08C8.627 20.586 8.218 20.995 7.712 20.995L0 21L0.004 13.287C0.004 12.782 0.414 12.372 0.92 12.372C1.425 12.372 1.835 12.782 1.835 13.287V17.816Z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><figcaption class=\"caption-collapse\">[BBC]<\/figcaption><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/news\/uk-66031515?xtor=AL-72-%5Bpartner%5D-%5Byahoo.north.america%5D-%5Blink%5D-%5Bnews%5D-%5Bbizdev%5D-%5Bisapi%5D\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:What do you want BBC Verify to investigate?;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">What do you want BBC Verify to investigate?<\/a><\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><img alt=\"\" height=\"1\" width=\"1\" style=\"display:block\" class=\"lazyload\" data-sizes=\"auto\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=75&resize=75 75w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=100&resize=100 100w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=150&resize=150 150w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=240&resize=240 240w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=320&resize=320 320w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=500&resize=500 500w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=640&resize=640 640w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=800&resize=800 800w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=1024&resize=1024 1024w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=1280&resize=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/?w=1600&resize=1600 1600w\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i3.wp.com\/a1.api.bbc.co.uk\/hit.xiti\/\"\/><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/gaza-aid-convoy-strike-know-184947761.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seven people working for the food aid charity World Central Kitchen (WCK) have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza.
