When does the world have courage say enough is enough?

I’m sure everyone will step up once there’s no Palestine left to save.

WCK said it was pausing its operations in the region immediately and would make decisions soon about the future of its work.

Ah ha. Even if they don't publicly say it, this is what Israel was hoping for by killing the members of the humanitarian operation.

Israel the state has lost credibility. But maybe they have 7 more chances to kill Canadians before we do anything about it because 8 Canadians were identified as killed in the Oct 7th massacre.

This is the best summary I could come up with:


Despite co-ordinating movements with the Israel Defence Forces, the convoy was hit as it was leaving its Deir al-Balah warehouse, after unloading more than 100 tons of humanitarian food aid brought to Gaza by sea, WCK said.

Israeli military spokesperson Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari said the incident would be investigated in the "Fact Finding and Assessment Mechanism," which his statement called an "independent, professional, and expert body" without giving details.

Albanese said innocent civilians and those doing humanitarian work need to be protected and reiterated his call for a sustainable ceasefire in Gaza along with more aid to help those suffering from "tremendous deprivation."

Hamas, which has governed Gaza since 2007, said the attack on WCK staff by Israel aimed to "terrorize" workers of international humanitarian agencies and deter them from pursuing their missions.

"Our 60+ kitchens in southern and central Gaza are cooking hundreds of thousands of meals each day like this mujadara, a comforting dish of rice, lentils, and caramelized onions," it said.

The UN-backed global authority on food security warned last month that famine was likely to occur by May in northern Gaza and could spread across the enclave of 2.3 million people by July.
