Many of Wednesday’s front pages report on the Israeli air strike that killed seven foreign aid workers in Gaza. Amongst the dead were three British men – who worked as security for the World Central Kitchen (WCK) kitchen charity. Following the deaths of the aid workers, the charity has now suspended their operations in Gaza. It comes as the strip is on the brink of famine, and news of the food charity suspending operations adds to heightened fears of mass starvation. 

Tuesday’s front pages feature a variety of stories with the escalation in the Middle East taking the lead for several papers. An Iranian general has been killed in Syria during an Israeli airstrike on the Iranian consulate building in Damascus. The papers see the bombing as an escalation and note Tehran has vowed a ‘harsh’ response to the attack. 

Several front pages feature ongoing coverage of the UK political scene ahead of this year’s general election. A couple of papers from across the political spectrum suggest Tory rebels are plotting to oust the prime minister regardless of whether he can turn the economic situation around. 

Donald Trump has posted a $175m (£140m) bond in his New York civil fraud case. The former US president was originally ordered to pay the full $464m judgement against him but an appeals court said he could pay the smaller sum within 10 days.
