According to the NGO World Central Kitchen (WCK), seven individuals associated with celebrity chef Jose Andres' organisation were tragically killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza on Monday. The victims hailed from Australia, Britain, Poland, the United States, Canada, and Palestine. They were travelling in two armoured vehicles adorned with the WCK logo, along with another vehicle, as stated by WCK in a released statement. Israel has consistently refuted accusations of obstructing the distribution of essential food aid in Gaza, attributing the challenge to the logistical constraints faced by international aid organisations. However, despite coordination efforts with the Israeli Defense Force (IDF), a convoy was struck while departing from its Deir al-Balah warehouse. This occurred subsequent to the unloading of over 100 tons of humanitarian food aid, which had been transported to Gaza via sea, as stated by WCK.

McCurtain County, in the southeast
part of the state, is expected to see as
many as 100,000 tourists visit the area. .
This influx of visitors has the potential
to overtax local resources and thanks
to the training and experience our
Guardsmen have working alongside
local agencies all across Oklahoma,
the CST is uniquely qualified to
support our fellow Oklahomans, Lt. Col Jabonn Flurry, Commander of the
63rd Civil Support Team, via 'Newsweek'.
According to NASA, McCurtain County's city of
Idabel is predicted to be one of the 13 best spots
in the country to see the rare celestial event.
Officials across the eclipse's path of totality have
expressed concerns that public safety resources will be
stretched thin as the spectacle draws massive crowds.
Similarly, schools along the path of
totality have announced they would close
for the day, citing concerns for student safety.
In at least four states, residents have been urged to
stock up on groceries and gas ahead of the event,
as local roads are expected to be overrun with tourists.

desperately needed help to civilians, President Joe Biden, via statement.
The United States has repeatedly
urged Israel to deconflict their
military operations against Hamas
with humanitarian operations, in
order to avoid civilian casualties, President Joe Biden, via statement.
On April 5, the Israeli military announced
that two officers in connection with
the incident have been dismissed. .
Three other officers have been reprimanded.
The Israeli military determined that each of the officers "mishandled critical information and violated the army's rules of engagement," AP reports. .
It’s a tragedy, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.
It’s a serious event that we are
responsible for and it shouldn’t
have happened and we will make
sure that it won’t happen again, Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, spokesman
for the Israeli military, via statement.

apologies and more grieving families, World Central Kitchen, via statement.

An Israeli inquiry into the airstrike that claimed lives of seven aid workers in Gaza found serious military errors, resulting in two officers being dismissed and senior commanders reprimanded. The military mistakenly targeted World Central Kitchen's vehicles, believing they belonged to Hamas. Visibility issues in the dark hindered the identification of aid workers' logos.
