Zionist Entity’s Airstrike Kills World Central Kitchen Volunteer, Injures Six Others in Gaza

A volunteer with the World Central Kitchen was killed, and six others were injured in an airstrike by the Zionist entity near one of the organization’s kitchens while distributing meals in Gaza, the charity confirmed.

In a statement cited by the Palestinian news agency WAFA, the organization said, “Our hearts are heavy today as we mourn one of our volunteers who was tragically killed by the Zionist entity’s airstrikes near one of our kitchens while providing meals.” The statement added that six other individuals sustained injuries in the attack.

Meanwhile, in the occupied West Bank, a Palestinian youth was wounded on Thursday evening by Zionist forces during a military raid on Beit Furik, east of Nablus. The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that the victim suffered shrapnel injuries to the head and abdomen amid heavy gunfire and clashes in the town.

The attack comes as the Zionist occupation continues its large-scale assault on Gaza, which resumed on March 18. According to the latest figures from Gaza’s health authorities, the death toll has now reached 50,183, with 113,828 wounded since October 2023.
