From BBC News.

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) has accused Israeli forces of attacking its headquarters in Gaza, killing one worker and injuring three others.

The humanitarian organisation said the attack "sparked a fire in the building" in the early hours of Sunday morning.

Describing the overnight attack on the facility in the southern city of Khan Younis as "deliberate", the Red Crescent said its HQ’s location is "well known" to the Israeli military and is "clearly marked with the protective red emblem".

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it had "no knowledge about neither artillery nor any air strikes" when asked by the BBC about the accusation.

The incident comes as warnings about the humanitarian situation in Gaza grow. Latest figures from the United Nations indicate that at least 1,373 Palestinians have been killed seeking food since late May.
