Six British citizens killed in Hamas attack - Sunak

Six British citizens have been killed in Hamas' attacks on Israel and a further 10 are missing, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak has said.

In a statement to MPs, Mr Sunak called for the immediate release of the 199 people taken hostage by Hamas.

The families of some of the missing were in Parliament watching his statement on Monday.

Mr Sunak confirmed the UK was giving the Palestinian people an additional £10m in humanitarian aid.

He said the UK had so far organised eight flights out of Israel for 500 British citizens with more expected to leave on Monday.

"We stand with you, we stand with Israel," Mr Sunak said to the families of the missing watching from the public gallery.

The prime minister added that the UK had spoken to Egypt about opening the Rafah crossing on the Egypt-Gaza border.
