Aid workers report violations of humanitarian law in Middle East conflict
Summary: Aid workers in the Middle East report serious violations of international humanitarian law amid the ongoing conflict. They claim that since Hamas's attack on Israel on October 7, the rules of war are being ignored, leading to unprecedented consequences.
Marwan Jilani from the Palestine Red Crescent highlighted the dangers faced by humanitarian workers in Gaza, where over 43,000 Palestinians have died. He noted that many staff members have lost family and that health workers are being targeted.
In Lebanon, the Red Cross also condemned the disregard for humanitarian protections. Officials warned that the situation could mirror Gaza, as violence escalates and aid workers face increasing risks while trying to assist those in need.
