After the attack, the international relief organization suspended operations at the 68 “community kitchens” it had been operating in Gaza for the last six months.

    Since then, WCK has organized food relief operations in the wake of disasters — both human-made and natural — in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, Zambia, Peru, Cuba, Uganda, the Bahamas, Cambodia as well as Ukraine.

    WCK made its U.S. debut in August 2017 by working with the American Red Cross to provide thousands of meals to survivors of Hurricane Harvey in Texas.

    While it may not have been their direct intention to murder relief workers, the relief withdrawal certainly plays to Israel’s advantage.

      I mean, at this point haven’t enough innocent people died to satiate Israel’s thirst for blood? 1200 Israelis died. 30,000 innocents and now relief workers. Israel is even killing hostages themselves. It’s all so damn senseless. What the hell are they trying to achieve? What ever it is, it isn’t justified.

        Very close to 33,000 now, out of 2.1 million total residents, or 1.57% of all citizens. That is a terrifyingly high number.

        I mean there’s a lot of reasons why it could’ve been an accident. Most likely a breakdown in communication channels that mark the target as off-limits. Could also be intentional, of course.

        But even IF it was an accident, it shows that Israel is not responsible enough to have these weapons, and the US should immediately stop sending more.

          I mean that’d be possible if it was one time, but nope. More than 200 aid workers have been murdered by the IDF in Gaza.
