The bodies were taken to a hospital in Gaza

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.
