Guardian report: Gaza kitchen workers killed
A new investigation by The Guardian reveals 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 an isolated mistake, but rather the result of military practices based on a form of collateral blame due to individuals' connections or proximity to militants. The Israeli escalation led to the targeting of three vehicles bearing humanitarian markings after they escorted a aid convoy, resulting in the deaths of the workers—among them three Britons, one Australian, a Palestinian, and two Americans and Canadians. The investigation shows that the Israeli army began monitoring and gradually expanding mistrust from armed individuals to the convoy itself, despite prior coordination. The strike was part of a broader effort to prevent Hamas from controlling the distribution of aid within Gaza. While the army has confirmed that the incident was a mistake, the investigation points to serious failures in identification and procedures. This pattern highlights the criticism faced regarding the methods used to target in the Gaza conflict, especially following repeated attacks on similar convoys despite prior coordination between the organization and the Israeli military.
