Erin Gore, the WCK chief executive, said: “This is not only an attack against WCK, this is an attack on humanitarian organisations showing up in the most dire of situations where food is being used as a weapon of war. This is unforgivable.”
The charity will pause its operations in the region and says it will make a decision about the future of its work, raising fears that a nascent maritime corridor from Cyprus to deliver desperately needed aid to Gaza in the face of repeated Israeli obstructions may collapse.
I mostly agree with you, except there are no non-civilian areas. That’s the reason the “Hamas are using civilians as human shields” argument is so stupid. It’s one of the most densely populated regions in the world. There are civilians/civilian infrastructure everywhere. Israel isn’t trying to avoid targeting civilians though, and they should be forced to try, instead of purposefully targeting them.
