Seven of the US-based food charity's workers were killed on Monday when leaving a warehouse in Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that Israel's forces hit "innocent people".

In his statement, Mr Andrés said he was grieving for the victims' families.

"These are people... angels," he wrote in a post on X, formerly Twitter. "They are not faceless... they are not nameless."
