The bodies were taken to a hospital in

Seven
aid workers have been killed in Gaza in what their charity's founder said was
an Israeli air strike.
World Central Kitchen (WCK) said workers from
countries including the UK, Poland and Australia were killed.
WCK founder and chef José Andrés said they were killed
"in an IDF air strike". The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was
conducting a "thorough review".
Gaza's Hamas-run media office also blamed Israel.
The alleged strike could not be immediately verified
independently.
A journalist working for the BBC in Gaza has seen the
bodies of three international aid workers and a Palestinian driver, recovered
from the site of the alleged air strike. Foreign passports were also shown.
WCK later said in a statement that seven of its team
had been killed and were Australian, Polish, British, Palestinian and a dual
US-Canadian citizen.
