Israeli airstrikes and the deadly risk of feeding Gaza

Published: April 5, 2024, 8:10 a.m.

On Monday, an Israeli military airstrike hit an aid convoy from World Central Kitchen. The IDF killed 7 workers, including Canadian veteran Jacob Flickinger, and said it was a \u201cmistake\u201d and \u201cmisidentification.\u201d


So why didn\u2019t the extensive steps WCK says it took to coordinate its movements stop the IDF from firing on them? And what does this breakdown of the way aid is delivered during war mean for getting help to Gazans on the brink of famine?


David Miliband is the CEO of the International Rescue Committee, a humanitarian group partnering to deliver aid and medical help to Gazans. He says it\u2019s time for a \u201cparadigm shift\u201d in how we think about aid during conflict.
