Israeli forces killed seven employees of the nonprofit World Central Kitchen in Gaza, leading to global outrage. The incident highlighted the flawed coordination process between aid groups and the Israeli military, endangering aid workers and hindering assistance to civilians. Various humanitarian organizations reported attacks on their convoys despite prior coordination with Israeli authorities. The system for coordinating aid deliveries is opaque and inefficient, lacking trust and communication between stakeholders. The situation prompted calls for investigations and systemic changes to prevent further tragedies. Israel pledged to improve aid distribution in Gaza and took disciplinary actions following the attack.
