Aid workers getting killed sign of decreasing respect for international law: Doctors Without Borders

Aid agency Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), a non-governmental organisation known as Doctors Without Borders in English, has had more than 80 reported security incidents in Sudan, where a civil war rages on, while eight of its staff members have been killed in Gaza, which has been devastated by Israel's military campaign. Speaking to CNA’s Asia Now on Thursday (Oct 30), the organisation’s secretary general Christopher Lockyear says the lack of safety for its teams reflects a diminishing respect for international humanitarian law. He adds that unless, globally, countries hold one another to account for adhering to that law, the world is at risk of seeing a further deterioration in the safety of aid workers.
