IsraAID, an Israel-based non-governmental organization, said the event in Washington, DC, where two Israeli staff members were shot dead was focused on humanitarian aid for Gaza.
The event, where IsraAID members were keynote speakers, “focused on bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza through Israeli-Palestinian and regional collaboration,” the NGO said in a statement Thursday.
“We, and all the attendees, gathered in the interest of finding practical solutions to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, and showing that working together is the only way forward for all the people in the region,” IsraAID said, adding that “the brutal and tragic irony that such an event – motivated by humanitarian principles – was targeted for more violence is heartbreaking.”
On Wednesday, trucks loaded with humanitarian aid began delivering the first stocks of food and supplies in Gaza, marking the first time any humanitarian supplies have entered the enclave since Israel imposed a complete blockade on the territory in early-March.
The UN’s Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said on Wednesday that the aid delivery was “nowhere near enough to meet the vast needs in Gaza.”
