Gaza: Continuous Israeli attacks on aid workers are severely hampering life-saving aid efforts, warns the IRC
The IRC is appalled by this week’s Israeli attack in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, which killed seven World Central Kitchen aid workers, including both Palestinian and foreign nationals, after they unloaded food aid at its central warehouse. Since October 2023, more than 200 humanitarian workers have now been killed in the occupied Palestinian territory, more than 95% of whom are Palestinian. Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world to be an aid worker, as well as the most dangerous place to be a civilian.
