Guardian Investigates: How Gaza Kitchen Workers Died
An investigation by The Guardian revealed that the killing of seven workers from the Global Central Kitchen Organization in an Israeli raid on their convoy in Gaza in April 2024 was not just an individual mistake, but was linked to an Israeli practice based on the perception that people are targeted because of their proximity to militants. The investigation indicated that the raid targeted vehicles bearing humanitarian markings after Israeli soldiers suspected the presence of Hamas elements. The suspicion shifted from an armed individual to the entire convoy despite prior coordination. This incident reflects a broader pattern in the targeting methods during the war in Gaza, where being close to or communicating with militants is grounds for suspicion. This occurs within the context of Israel's efforts to prevent Hamas from taking control over the distribution of aid within the enclave. However, the investigation revealed serious failures in field awareness procedures, and the incident took place as part of a larger mission.
