Deaths in attack on humanitarian aid workers in Gaza

We are deeply shocked by the death of seven employees of the aid organization World Central Kitchen. They were killed today in an airstrike on their convoy by the Israeli army.
We are saddened by the loss of seven people who were torn from their lives in the performance of their humanitarian duties and in the exercise of human solidarity.
We are furious that humanitarian aid workers are repeatedly the victims of attacks despite all their efforts and, as in this case, have to pay for their commitment with their lives.
We are shocked by the incomprehensible harshness with which the fighting in the Gaza Strip is being waged, the disregard for humanitarian law and the recklessness with which civilian casualties are being accepted.
The fighting must stop NOW, humanitarian aid must be made possible and the hostages must be released! Our thoughts are with the dead WCK employees and their families and the victims of the war in Gaza.
Trainings and Burns
The financing of our hospital has been secured for the time being and we are continuing to train medical staff e.g. in terms of dealing with the treatment of burns, which we can treat as the only hospital in the camp.
Leave No One Behind
The corona virus is a challenge for all of us. But for refugees in the overcrowded camps on the Greek islands, the risk of an outbreak is far greater. #LeaveNoOneBehind
Resolution regression
While the humanitarian situation in Northeast Syria is still tense and the threat to the health system and people from the so-called corona virus has increased, the work for aid organizations has again been made more difficult.
