The UK has called on Israel to “immediately investigate” the deaths of British nationals in an air strike in Gaza.
Rishi Sunak told broadcasters during a visit to the north east of England: “We are asking Israel to investigate what happened urgently, because clearly there are questions that need to be answered.”“They are doing fantastic work bringing alleviation to the suffering that many are experiencing in Gaza.“They need to be allowed to do that work unhindered and it is incumbent on Israel to make sure they can do that.
“We condemn this strike. There must be a full investigation and those responsible must be held to account. He said officials were “checking this thoroughly” and “will do everything for this not to happen again”. An IDF spokesman said: “Last night, an incident took place in Gaza that resulted in the tragic death of World Central Kitchen employees as they fulfilled their vital mission of bringing food to people in need.
