Never forget. April 1, 2024.

International aid workers from World Central Kitchen killed in Israeli airstrike

A World Central Kitchen team has been hit by Israeli fire in the Gaza Strip. Five people died, including helpers from Poland, Australia and the UK.

Israel had a right to self-defence, the key word being " had past tense".

What else must happen to the eternal back and forth chasing of the Palestinian civilian population for supposedly necessary measures or, to put it clearly, military attacks with more and more civilian deaths!

israel is doing itself a disservice with this strategy, it is creating even more terrorists and driving extremism in the arab countries even further.

Pressure creates against pressure physically law. It's only stupid if you have caused the waves that are coming your way.

The massacre on 7 October was cruel and despicable and represents the sick ideology of hamas and its contract killers. The murder, rape and kidnapping of innocent people is not a fight for freedom but a war crime.

Never forget who is responsible for the consequences - the murderers and those behind the hamas massacre.

However, retaliation on this scale is no longer justifiable and must be stopped immediately.

Stop the Gaza war immediately, it is against international law.

The UN Security Council has been given a stark warning about the consequences of inaction in Gaza: in its latest report to the UN Security Council, the United Nations (UN) warns that at least 576,000 people in Gaza are at risk of famine as a result of the conflict.

The UN Security Council met under the auspices of Resolution 2417: representatives of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UNOCHA), the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) and the UN World Food Programme (WFP) presented the findings of their report. The report highlights how warfare, including the impact of the Israeli military blockade before 7 October 2023, is preventing people in Gaza from accessing food. This includes Israel's far-reaching restrictions on access and delivery of humanitarian and commercial goods, as well as targeted attacks on aid convoys. Humanitarian aid and access to the population across Gaza is also restricted due to the denial of security guarantees and the ongoing blockade of water and electricity and bombardments. The UN also emphasised the impact of the attacks on the food production infrastructure: due to the destruction of agricultural land and numerous forced displacements, fields have been abandoned and food production is limited.

While the entire population in Gaza does not have sufficient access to food, the situation in northern Gaza is particularly catastrophic. According to the WFP, one in six children under the age of two now suffers from wasting. 155,000 pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers do not have access to sufficient, nutritious food. Malnutrition has a devastating and intergenerational impact on vulnerable populations, including long-term effects on children's cognitive and physical development and well-being, as well as compromising their future quality of life.

Resolution 2417, adopted unanimously in 2018, is intended to prompt the UN Security Council to act when there is a risk of conflict-related famine for the civilian population. It strengthens existing international law, according to which starving the civilian population is a war crime. However, despite constant warnings of the risks and contrary to the UN Security Council's own resolutions, it remains inactive - as a result of the use of the veto power of the permanent members. At the beginning of the month, the United States vetoed a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire for the third time.

The signatory non-governmental organisations are calling on the UN Security Council to urgently adopt a resolution calling for an immediate and permanent ceasefire. This is the only way to curb the famine in Gaza and protect the civilian population, including by preventing a military operation in Rafah, which would have catastrophic consequences for the civilian population and bring relief efforts to a complete standstill.

At the same time, humanitarian aid for Palestinians must now be massively increased, which will be essential even if the fighting stops. This includes continuing to support the vital work of UNRWA and partner organisations to help the Palestinian civilian population survive one of the worst humanitarian disasters of our time. The role of UNRWA cannot be replaced. The approval and renewal of visas for humanitarian workers must also be accelerated.

The UN Security Council must ensure the implementation of the resolutions on Gaza, which call for unrestricted, rapid, safe and unhindered access for humanitarian aid organisations to all of Gaza. In addition, the UN Security Council has a crucial role to play in ensuring compliance with the judgement of the International Court of Justice and upholding the consistent application of international law.

We know this because Istael has killed countless of Palestinian aid workers and none of the people outraged by the massacre of WCK workers (excluding the Palestinian driver ofc) cared

So even Jews are antisemetic if they feel bad for Palestine? Bruh

From Quds News, we can see the car is clearly marked as World Central Kitchen (WCK) even from above. Check this post for the WCK statement on the attack but also have a look at how the spins & lies have already begun:

You don't need to be an expert to know a roadside bomb would have hit that car differently. Like do they think our eyes and brains don't work?

WCK had 3 cars in their convoy and have reported 7 workers total killed. Now they have suspended operations for aid delivery. Aid from every direction is being blocked and affected in the strip, israel is starving the people of Gaza and killing anyone who tries to get food or give them food. It's insane and that word doesn't feel like enough but I don't know what else to say at this point.

Hey all! Once again I'm helping out with Roll For Good's charity stream! I won't be on camera this time, but I've done a lot of work behind the scenes (and made a lot of the intermission content!). It would be great to see people tune in.

There will be 6 games over the weekend - with giveaways, intermission content and lots of other good stuff too. World Central Kitchen is an amazing charity doing a lot of good work in Ukraine right now, so if you're able to show your support we would all super appreciate it <3

See you there next weekend!

I've always felt uneasy about wanting to get people to pay attention to the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza by saying "if Israel isn't stopped, it's only a matter of time before it happens to you" because why not care even if this wasn't ever going to affect you personally

But seeing as how Israel had targeted a clearly marked vehicle of World Central Kitchen today, killing 4 of its staff operating in southern Gaza who are Australian, British and Polish - just goes to show these people again that Israel is setting precedent and making sure the world understands that it's not "violating international law", it is in fact changing the standard and setting the stage of what counts as a crime and what is permissible and can be done with complete impunity and no consequences.
