James Henderson, a British aid worker, was one of three individuals killed in Gaza during an Israeli airstrike on a World Central Kitchen convoy. The incident sparked outrage, with politicians like Rishi Sunak calling for a thorough investigation. Keir Starmer also expressed horror over the attack. Henderson’s family, represented by lawyer Forz Khan, sent a letter to Starmer demanding transparency and an end to the UK’s military relationship with Israel. They are concerned about the use of British machinery in the attack and are calling for the release of surveillance footage. The Hendersons also seek assurance that the UK will not provide further weapons to Israel. Despite conflicting reports, the Labour government has not imposed an arms embargo. The family fears that Britain may be complicit in Israeli genocide, as tens of thousands of Palestinians have been killed with aid workers being frequent targets. Campaign Against Arms Trade advocates for an embargo to stop the violence in Gaza. The Hendersons urge Starmer to take a stand against the atrocities being committed.
