IDF investigating after World Central Kitchen workers killed in central Gaza. Plus, Robert F Kennedy Jr claims to qualify for five states’ ballots
Good morning.
An Israeli airstrike has killed seven people working with World Food Kitchen, according to the frontline aid charity. Those killed were from the UK, Australia, Poland and Palestine, as well as a US-Canadian dual citizen.
The organization has said it will pause its efforts following the attack, in which two armoured vehicles branded with the charity’s logo were hit leaving a warehouse in central Gaza. The suspension comes as the threat of famine deepens – a US state department assessment found last week that famine was most likely already present in parts of Gaza.
“Despite coordinating movements with the [Israeli army], the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where the team had unloaded more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza on the maritime route,” the charity said.
It was not immediately possible to identify the source of the attack, but the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it was investigating.Trump posts $175m bond in civil fraud case and escapes asset seizures
Donald Trump posted a $175m bond in his New York civil fraud case on Monday, avoiding state authorities seizing his assets.
The payment comes after Trump was found liable in February of fraudulently exaggerating his net worth to access more favorable loan and insurance terms. He was initially asked to post a $454m bond, but following an appeal, was allowed to post the smaller sum within 10 days.
