A top United Nations official has raised concerns over the lack of understanding and mistrust between the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and humanitarian organizations operating in Gaza. The UN Humanitarian Coordinator in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, Jamie McGoldrick, emphasized the need to address these issues to ensure the safety of humanitarian workers.
McGoldrick pointed out that the recent deadly Israeli strike on nonprofit World Central Kitchen, which resulted in the deaths of seven workers, has heightened fears among humanitarian workers in Gaza. He also mentioned an attack on a UNICEF convoy as another alarming incident.
