As the world commemorates World Humanitarian Day 2024, the latest figures on the dire circumstances aid workers face on the frontline highlight the alarming increase in attacks against them and their work to relieve the suffering of civilians caught in the crossfire.
Among the most notable examples of the dangers aid workers face in Gaza was the death of seven aid workers of World Central Kitchen, a humanitarian organization that delivers food in war-torn countries, who were killed in an Israeli missile strike in the Gaza Strip on April 1. According to the report, more than 30,000 civilians have died in Gaza. Although exact percentages are unknown, it stated that"a very significant number" of aid workers were killed"while engaged in relief work, in attacks on ambulances, aid convoys, medical and shelter facilities, and distribution sites."
Terlinden wrote that the deaths were"far from accidental" as the Israeli military was informed of their coordinates to ensure their protection. He also noted that the E.U. continues to be Israel's largest trading partner despite"a human rights clause in its Association Agreement." Established by the United Nations in 2008, World Humanitarian Day recognizes the work of humanitarian personnel and those who died in service. The date of the world day commemorates the 2003 of the U.N. headquarters in Baghdad, Iraq, that killed 22 humanitarian workers.
