The nationality of the fourth care provider is currently unclear.
Ms Frankom worked for the charity World Central Kitchen.
“We are aware of reports that members of the World Central Kitchen team were killed in an IDF attack while working in support of our humanitarian food delivery efforts in Gaza,” the chairman wrote on X.
‘This is a tragedy. Humanitarian workers and civilians should NEVER be targeted. EVER.’
Daily Mail Australia has approached the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for comment.
