The three Britons that were killed in an Israeli airstrike have been named.

John Chapman, James Henderson and James Kirby died after an attack on a Gaza aid convoy, the BBC has revealed.

Henderson, 33, was a former Royal Marine before volunteering with World Central Kitchen as an aid worker.

Chapman, 57, is also believed to have served in the Royal Marines and his family described him as an “excellent man”.

A friend said that Henderson’s family had been informed of his death this morning: “Everybody is gutted, he was a lovely lad,” they added.

“He hadn’t been out there long, only a couple of weeks.”

Rishi Sunak said he was "shocked and saddened" by the incident and sent his thoughts to the friends and families of the victims.
