Australia, poland, a dual us canada citizen, as well as palestinians. In a statement, it said the convoy was hit as it was leaving the Deir Al Balah warehouse after unloading aid, and that it had coordinated movements with the Israeli Military. It said. The australian Prime MinisterAnthony Albanese confirmed one australian woman, zomi frankcom, was among those killed. While polish officials named damian sobol as another of those killed. Here in the uk, the foreign, Commonwealth Development office said it was aware of reports of the death of a British National in gaza and was urgently seeking further information. Our first report this hour is from our correspondent graham satchell. The bodies of aid workers being taken to a hospital in central gaza. They worked with the Charity World central kitchen. They were travelling in armoured cars, branded with their charity logo, when they were hit by an israeli air strike. The charity says seven were killed from all corners of the world britain, poland, australia, america, canada and palestine. Hi, this is zomi and chef olivier. Were at the Deir Al Balah kitchen. The smiling face of australian zomi frankcom, one of those who lost their lives. She had been working in gaza helping to organise the supply and preparation of food. The Australian Government is demanding answers. The truth is that this is beyond, beyond any reasonable circumstance, that someone going about, providing aid and humanitarian assistance should lose their life. This is a video produced by the charity. It is one of the biggest providers of food aid in gaza, and has delivered more than 42 million meals since last october. In a statement, the Israeli Military said it was conducting a review at the highest level to understand the circumstances he said. In the syrian capital, damascus, the clear up has started after an israeli air strikes on irans consulate. Two senior commanders of the Iranian Revolutionary guard were killed in in the attack. It is the clearest sign yet that this conflict is escalating. The Iranian Ambassador in damascus hinted at retaliation. | translation definitely the zionist | regime knows better than anyone that such crimes and violating International Law will have its response in an appropriate time. The deaths of foreign aid workers in gaza will put International Pressure on israel. Governments around the world will want assurances that charities and their staff can operate safely. Our international editor, jeremy bown, is in northern israel and has this update on the aid worker deaths. The latest that we know is that this incident occurred. The reports out of gaza are they co ordinated their movement with their vehicles, that were apparently clearly marked, with the israelis, before they moved, and yet it still happened. The israelis say it is a terribly tragic mistake well, a terribly tragic incident, and they are looking into what exactly happened. My supposition is that it is a function of the terrible deadly chaos that is going on in gaza, the lack of governance there for their own quite complex domestic political reasons. The israelis, particularly the Prime Minister mr netanyahu, have not wanted to engage with the whole business of who runs gaza, notjust after this war has ended, but what about when israels been operating with its military in a certain area and then they pull out . So its a chaotic situation, and i think that operating in that situation is dangerous, and is difficult and we saw this morning deadly. Our middle east correspondent gave me more details on this new maritime route, because the ngo has been very involved in opening up that sea route, bringing food into gaza that has been prescreened in cyprus, and that the second shipments had just arrived, we are told, they were at a warehouse in Deir Al BalahDeir Al Balah in the centre of the gaza strip and they were in cars at a convoy of three cars, two armoured and you can see from the images that there was the world Central Kitchen Logo is on the roofs, it should have been very visible and they say they were co ordinating their movements with the Israeli Military, when this strike happened and that the bodies were taken to the nearby hospital, where we got some very grim images of the corpses that were taken in, and really, we have got, you know, that the ceo of the organisation calling this an attack on humanitarian organisations, very strong words, saying you know, they are showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war, this is unforgivable. The Israeli Military has said it is still investigating exactly what happened, it will be an in depth examination of the highest levels to understand the circumstances of this tragic incidents, it says and the Israeli Military says it has been working closely with world central kitchen in recent weeks, as it goes about its humanitarian work in gaza. But, we understand from israeli radio that the head of the Israeli Military has spoken top the head of the Us Central Command giving preliminary findings and is going to bet back to world central kitchen with what they now know about the circumstances. We have pictures from the hospital at Deir Al Balah where you were talking about the bodies being taken, we have this second Aid Organisation saying they are going to pause their operations, what effect do you think it will have on getting aid that much needed aid, into guards .

This is going i to have a big impact on the workings of all humanitarian organisations, mine most of the Aid Distribution that goes on in gaza is carried out by the un agencies, but when it comes to the remaining aid that comes to the remaining aid that comes in, especially food aid, world central kitchen has been an important player, they have been running kitchens down in rafah in the very south of the gaza strip, distributing food to large numbers of people. I mean world central kitchen alone said that more than a0 million meals had been given out during the course of the war so far. This was in a statement they made last month, and then as said they have been involved in bringing this food aid by sea, that was a move that was welcomed by different players all round the world, including the israelis, who said it would be important for this humanitarian effort. Now, that too could be in that is our middle east correspondent. That is our middle east correspondent. Im joined now by dr brenda kelly a Consultant Obstetrician in oxford and part of a team of doctors who have been going to gaza over past 12 years to support medical education and training. Thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news. I wondered if i could first get your reaction to the deaths of those seven aid workers. Well, it is an appalling act of violence and my sincere sympathies go to the families of those who have been killed but i think it is important to recognise this is occurring on the backdrop of the indiscriminate killing and maiming of over 110,000 civilians in gaza, and while you know, i am hearing Discussion Round Food being used a a weapon of war we must not forget whose weapons have killed those aid workers, and namely the israeli, but and who is funding the israeli weaponry, and that is our own government, so the governments of those nationals who have been killed. Ithink in those nationals who have been killed. I think in this discussion today, in the media, around these tragic killings, we mustnt forget that our governments are complicit in this, in their continued supply of arms to israel. The other thing i would like to say is that there is something again, in the narrative around the humanitarian organisations rightly, fearing for the welfare of those workers who they are putting into gaza. The deaths of these aid workers yesterday is on the backdrop, again, of attacks on Health Care Facilities but also on un shelters that have housed Emergency Medical Teams going into gaza, so you know, no one is safe in gaza and that message is clear n the deaths of those aid workers. ,. , workers. 0k, well the Israeli Military say workers. 0k, well the Israeli Military say the workers. 0k, well the Israeli Military say the incident workers. 0k, well the Israeli Military say the incident will| workers. 0k, well the israeli i military say the incident will be investigated by an independent professional and expert body, so we dont know yet exactly what happened in the circumstances round it.

There would be no need to send aid workers in through unsafe routes, you know, again and again, International Humanitarian organisations including medical Aid Palestine which has sponsored several of the Emergency Medical Teams for which my colleagues from oxford have gone into gaza with, we have gone in with the desire and need to work alongside the palestinians in gaza, the Health Care Workers to provide some semblance of health care for those in gaza, but we should come back to the fact that if there were safe humanitarian routes into gaza, if our governments would stop arming israel, then we would not be having this conversation, so, rather than remark on the bravery, the courage or stupidity some might say of those of us outside a War Zone Entering into the war zone, we have to hold rail israel, we have to hold our own governments into account, there is no point in calling for a ceasefire, no point in calling for a ceasefire, no point in sending humanitarian aid if you cannot guarantee unfettered access into gaza. fik.

One in three children have acute malnutrition in gaza, i heard yesterday a doctor telling me a five year old child asked them to let them die, because thatis asked them to let them die, because that is the level of need and destruction in gaza. We must use this as an opportunity to acknowledge the appalling act of violence against these seven key aid worker, but we must also use it as a way of saying to our own government what is where you going to do to stop arming israel, do not fall prey to this being a sign that israels going to block humanitarian aid, in the way they are working towards blocking foreign journalists reporting on this from within israel. , �. ,. , israel. 0k.

Here in the uk, the government says it expects more than 150,000 children to benefit from the first phase of the expansion of Childcare Support in england. Working parents of two year olds are now eligible for some free childcare. But there are questions about the number of staff and Spaces Available as demand rises. Vanessa clarke reports. Yay from a quick stumble to the back of the net. The two year olds here at Monkton Nursery in liverpool are quick learners. Some of their childcare hours are now being paid for by the government, giving their parents a helping hand. But balancing the books is proving tricky for the nursery. The only way that we can remain financially viable is by asking the parents for a supplement to the funding, a subsidy allowance. Parents are unclear as to how the funding works, so in a way, theyre blaming the nurseries for charging extra because they think its all going to be free. The first part of the roll out is aimed at eligible working parents of two year olds who can now access 15 hours. The next step will be for younger children. For kirsty, who works in a childrens home, the changes are a chance to increase her hours at work. Thats if she can find a place. Ive been to three nurseries and ive put her down on three Waiting Lists because theyre all got massive Waiting Lists now, because theres not enough nurseries for the hours that are funded. So yeah, it will help , if i can get her in somewhere. The Department For Education says it is confident in the strength of the Childcare Market to deliver this expansion, and that Funding Rates for younger children have increased, as have the number of Childcare Places and staff. As demand grows, the plans rely on nurseries and childminders providing even more places like this. With the annual cost of a Nursery Space now more than £15,000, any help will be welcome news to parents. But as the sector prepares for the next expansion in september, which will include even younger children, questions over funding, availability and staffing will continue.
