British Foreign Secretary David Cameron calls the deadly strike on World Central Kitchen aid workers in Gaza “deeply distressing.”

“British Nationals are reported to have been killed, we are urgently working to verify this information and will provide full support to their families,” says Cameron on X.

“These were people who were working to deliver life-saving aid to those who desperately need it,” he continues. “It is essential that humanitarian workers are protected and able to carry out their work.”

The UK calls on Israel to “immediately investigate and provide a full, transparent explanation of what happened.”
