Humanitarian workers are not—and should never be—targets. Yet humanitarian groups, including the IRC, have repeatedly come under fire in Gaza. A new investigative piece from The New York Times shows how: nytimes.com/video/world/10…

The IRC sends our utmost condolences to World Central Kitchen, who had 7 staff killed last night by an Israeli strike while delivering food in a protected zone in central #Gaza . All civilians and humanitarian workers are protected under International Humanitarian Law and are #NotATarget .

“Children are starving due to an entirely man-made and preventable crisis.”

Northern Gaza is now facing an imminent famine due to Israel’s blockade and bombardment. We strongly reiterate our call for an immediate ceasefire and unhindered aid access. rescue.org/press-release/…

After 6 conflicting accounts from Israel, we need an independent investigation into the attack on our team in Gaza. As arms suppliers, the US + UK have a responsibility to hold Israel accountable for this + countless other attacks on aidworkers + civilians rescue.org/press-release/…

“We have never seen a civilian population made to go so hungry so quickly & so completely, that is the consensus among starvation experts,”

“Israel ... is trying to damn the future of the Palest ppl by harming their children.”
