CAIRO, April 2 (Reuters) - At least five employees from the World Central Kitchen were killed by an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza's Deir al-Balah, the Hamas-run Gaza Government Media Office announced late on Monday.

Those killed included people from Poland, Australia and a British national, a spokesman for the media office said, adding that one Palestinian was also killed.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli military or the World Central Kitchen. (Reporting by Nidal Al Mughrabi and Ahmed Tolba, Editing by Franklin Paul)
