Human Rights Watch says aid workers’ convoys and facilities have been targeted at least eight times since last October.
Israeli forces have attacked humanitarian aid convoys and buildings in the Gaza Strip at least eight times since October despite being given coordinates to ensure their protection, Human Rights Watch (HRW) has said in a new report.
At least 31 aid workers and their companions were killed, the international rights group said in a new report published on Tuesday.
“Israeli authorities did not issue advance warnings to any of the aid organisations before the strikes,” the report said.
“The eight incidents reveal fundamental flaws with the so-called deconfliction system, meant to protect aid workers and allow them to safely deliver life-saving humanitarian assistance in Gaza,” it added.
At least 254 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since October 7, according to the United Nations, when the current conflict erupted. Of them, 188 are personnel from the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), the report said.
