The strike highlighted the dangerous work of delivering aid in Gaza, where the war has displaced much of the 2.3 million population and caused widespread hunger.

The Israeli military said it killed the worker in a strike in Gaza on Saturday. “To the best of our knowledge, no WCK team members are affiliated with Hamas,” a spokeswoman for the aid group said.

World Central Kitchen has suspended its humanitarian work in Gaza after an Israeli air strike on the organization's vehicles killed three aid workers on Saturday. Al Jazeera reports that the airstrike on the WCK-marked vehicle killed three aid workers and two others in Khan Younis, a city in the south of Gaza.
