Humanitarian convoy bombed
On Monday evening, a convoy of 3 charity cars supplying food to Palestinians was attacked from the air in the coastal town of Deir Balah in central Gaza. Among the murdered were people of different nationalities, American, British, Palestinian, including 1 Pole.
The information was confirmed by WCK founder José Andrés.

You gotta start now – he wrote on the X portal.
