Three British aid workers have been killed in an Israeli strike in Gaza.
John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby were among the seven World Central Kitchen workers killed in Monday's strike, the BBC has learned.
The charity has paused its operations and said the other victims were Australian, Polish, Palestinian and a US-Canadian citizen.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said the deaths "appalled" him. Israel said they were killed by an "unintended strike".
Australian national Lalzawmi Frankcom, Polish national Damian Sobol, Palestinian Saif Abu Taha and US-Canadian citizen Jacob Flickinger were among the others killed in the strike.
The team had been leaving the Deir al-Balah warehouse, where it had unloaded food aid, according to the charity.
The convoy was made up of three vehicles, including two that were armoured, which clearly displayed the charity's logo. All three were hit during the strike.
The UK summoned the Israeli ambassador over the deaths - the first time this has happened in 12 years - and Mr Sunak demanded an investigation in a call with Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu.

The vehicle was completely destroyed by the explosion/fire. The tires disintegrated...the interior seats...the dashboard vaporized.
...all except TWO completely white signs with the logo of the World Central Kitchen were inside with charred edges. and another unscathed in the burnt out to-a-crisp trunk interior.
Not denying they were killed, but the photos were definitely STAGED.
They were providing aid and comfort to the enemies of western civilization. Legitimate targets intentionally or otherwise.
Their names are Dumb, Dumber and Dumbest.
Everything is staged in the global media these days. That’s why when you watch the TV coverage of a major political demonstration anywhere in the world, you see protestors who don’t speak a word of English holding signs with slogans written in English.
in an active war zone, this can happen. Logos on their vehicles aside.
The long and short of it.
Didn’t USA drop food on gaza killing 12 people ?
Didn’t USA In 2021, the U.S. military killed ten civilians in Kabul, Afghanistan, in a drone attack?
Stfu to the USA and Biden for their double standard
In 1 week we will have forgotten this event.
Two former Royal Marines... working at a food charity? Maybe they were providing security?
Bull 💩
Putting civilians in harms way during war is a stooopid thing to do...becoming human shields will shorten one’s lifespan every time.
Panties get twisted up much?
It’s a WAR ZONE.
Besides: hamas exploits the fog of war continually.
That there are those on the right falling for this to criticize Israel is pathetic.
No biggie! You are just the run-of-the-mill pearl-clutcher.
Hey...it is a WAR started by the hamas “civilization”.
Seriously Shirley?
It is WAR. You kill people and break things.
"You cannot qualify war in harsher terms than I will. War is cruelty, and you cannot refine it; and those who brought war into our Country deserve all the curses and maledictions a people can pour out"
William Tecumseh Sherman
Hamas contract caterers killed in crossfire… Democrats call it a war crime.
Err no. 2 of the Brits were former Marines
