The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) say the vehicles were hit by missiles after its drone operators mistakenly thought they were carrying Hamas gunmen. The IDF says it has dismissed two senior military officers and reprimanded two others.

Since the attack on 1 April, BBC Verify has been studying images of its aftermath, shared on social media, to try to piece together what we know about the incident.

The group of World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers were travelling in three cars - two of them armoured.

They were part of a convoy delivering more than 100 tonnes of food supplies from a recently constructed pier to a warehouse in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, according to WCK.
