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.
The three British aid workers who lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike in Gaza have been named. Among the casualties were John Chapman, 57, James Henderson, 33, and James Kirby, 47, who were part of a group of seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) personnel killed during Monday’s strike.
