ALMOST 200 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since the Israeli assault on Gaza began. Their deaths have not provoked the same international…
The Israeli military killed aid workers Saifeddin Issam Ayad Abutaha, Lalzawmi Frankcom, Damian Sobol, Jacob Flickinger, John Chapman, James Henderson, and James KirbyCONDEMNATION and outrage continues to grow over the killing of seven aid workers working for food charity World Central Kitchen in an Israeli attack in Gaza – even though the aid workers were travelling in clearly marked vehicles and their convoy's movements had been coordinated in advance with Israeli military authorities.
An investigation by Al Jazeera’s Sanad verification agency concludes that Israeli forces intentionally targeted the World Central Kitchen aid convoy in three consecutive air attacks in central Gaza.Local witnesses told the channel that following a projectile strike on the first vehicle, the injured were transferred to another armoured vehicle to expedite their. The second vehicle was targeted approximately 800 metres away from where the first was hit, while the third car was targeted about 1.
The deaths of the WCK workers prove that these “regrettable accidents” keep on happening, so the Israeli forces are very clearly not doing anything to prevent it from happening again and again. That in itself is a gross dereliction and a breach of international humanitarian law. And that remains the case even if, and it's a very big if, we accept the Israeli explanation.
The Gazan health, water, food distribution, sewage, and educational systems have been rendered inoperable, a large majority of the population has had to flee, often multiple times, and are now eking out a miserable existence in hastily constructed insanitary tent encampments where disease is rife and the people exist on the brink of starvation.
And it's not just the SNP and pro-Palestinian organisations which are calling for an immediate halt to British arms sales to Israel. Lord Peter Ricketts, a former senior diplomat who chaired the Joint Intelligence Committee when Tony Blair was in power, has joined in calls for an immediate halt to arms sales to Israel.
