NNA - Israel should apologize and pay compensation to the family of a Polish national who was among seven aid workers killed in an airstrike in Gaza, Poland's prime minister and the president said on Thursday.

Citizens from Australia, Britain, and Poland were among seven people working for celebrity chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen who were killed in an Israeli airstrike in central Gaza on Monday, the NGO said.

Damian Sobol, 35, was a relief worker and lived in the city of Przemysl in southeastern Poland, according to the city's mayor, Wojciech Bakun.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk told a news conference, "We will expect... an immediate explanation of the circumstances and compensation for the victims' relatives."

President Andrzej Duda joined his call for an apology, compensation, and investigation from Israel while also criticizing Israel's ambassador to Poland for his comments after the incident.—Reuters
