The seven aid workers from the World Central Kitchen are sadly | |
not the first to have been killed during the war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza, which began almost | |
six months ago. | |
“Nowhere else are so many aid workers killed. There must | |
be an immediate ceasefire. Enough now,” wrote Jan Egeland, the head of the | |
Norwegian Refugee Council and a former UN humanitarian chief, wrote following | |
Monday’s deadly air strike. | |
Before the incident, at least 196 aid workers had been | |
killed in the Palestinian territories since the start of the war, according to a | |
tally by the Aid Worker Security Database, which records major incidents of | |
violence against humanitarian personnel. | |
Last year, when 161 aid workers were reported killed, was | |
the deadliest year ever recorded, according to the AWSD’s database. | |
Most of those killed during the war worked for the | |
UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), which runs the biggest aid | |
operation in Gaza. | |
UNRWA said in a report on Monday that 173 of its staff | |
members had been killed, including while in the line of duty. It added that 353 | |
“incidents impacting UNRWA premises and the people inside them” had been | |
reported during the war, including “at least 52 incidents of military use | |
and/or interference at UNRWA premises”. | |
