Israel Defense Forces' recent bombing of a World Central Kitchen convoy that killed 7 aid workers sparked global outrage. The increasing number of casualties suffered by humanitarian organizations since the war broke out in Gaza points to failures by the Israeli military in its obligation to protect aid workers.

Since the beginning of the conflict, 224 of them have died, according to the United Nations (UN) The attacks have led to a direct reduction in aid deliveries to the needy population of Gaza, writes Gabe Joselow and Aurora Almendral.
