Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has paid tribute to the three British aid workers who have been killed in Gaza, following an Israeli airstrike.

Sunak told reporters: "I am shocked and saddened to hear the reported deaths of aid workers in Gaza. We're urgently working to confirm all the details, but my thoughts right now are with their friends and family, they're doing fantastic work bringing alleviation to the suffering that many are experiencing in Gaza.

"They should be praised and commended for what they're doing. They need to be allowed to do that work unhindered, and it's incumbent on Israel to make sure that they can do that. And we're asking Israel to investigate what happened urgently, because clearly there are questions that need to be answered."
