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.
It definitely was. This was a precision strike.
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.
Fuck Israel.
Which was probably the point. Israel said that it was "unintentional" but they've consistently bombed areas where they knew refugee operations were underway. This isn't the first time, nor will it be the last, and aid organizations aren't stupid. This will have a chilling effect on relief, and I can't help but cynically believe that this was absolutely intentional.
