Israel attacking known aid worker locations: HRW

In its latest report, Human Rights Watch documented at least eight Israeli strikes on aid workers' convoys and premises in Gaza since October, "even though aid groups had provided their coordinates to the Israeli authorities to ensure their protection".

HRW says that Israeli authorities did not issue any advance warnings to any of the aid organisations prior to the strikes, which killed at least 15 people, including two children, and injured 16.

Overall, the UN says that over 250 aid workers have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war.

"Israel’s allies need to recognise that these attacks that have killed aid workers have happened over and over again, and they need to stop," Belkis Wille, associate director at HRW, said.
