Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) - Monitoring: The six groups were Doctors without Borders (France), Medical Aid for Palestinians (UK), International Rescue Committee (US), International Committee of the Red Cross (Switzerland), Anera (US) and World Central Kitchen (US).
The probe, published on Thursday, examined visual evidence and internal communications obtained by the New York Times.
In one example, a staff member of Anera was killed by Israeli forces in what appeared to be a precision strike, despite the aid group repeatedly sending the coordinates of his residence to Israel's military via email.
It’s amid, an aid worker who was part of Belgium's development efforts in Gaza has been killed in an Israeli strike on Rafah on Thursday.
"It is with deep sadness and horror that we learn of the death of our colleague Abdallah Nabhan (33) and his seven-year-old son Jamal, last night, following a bombardment by the Israeli army in the Eastern part of the city of Rafah," Caroline Gennez, Belgium's development minister, said in a statement.
Nabhan, whose nationality has not been disclosed, worked for Belgium's Enabel agency, helping small businesses.
At least seven people were killed by the Israeli strike on a building that housed about 25 people, according to the statement.
"Abdallah was a father, a husband, a son, a human being. His story and that of his family is just one of tens of thousands," said Gennez.
"The fact remains that the indiscriminate bombing of civilian infrastructure and innocent civilians goes against every international, humanitarian... law of war. The Israeli government bears a crushing responsibility here," Gennez added.
Israel launched its war on Gaza after fighters from Hamas and other Palestinian groups carried out an attack inside Israel on October 7 killing about 1,139 people and taking more than 200 people captive.
Israel has so far killed at least 34,305 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injured 77,293 others./Fars news
