While I sympathize with the parents, that is the nature of war, no matter what our Environmental Doomsday Cult Leader says.

Yes we of our age will be okay and get to die in our beds , our children and theirs are who I worry about .
Our kids and grandkids will quite likely get to die in their beds as well. Just at a very much younger age than nature intended.

It's all good. As soon as US humanitarian port is established (an idea proposed 8-10 years ago) the "Blue Helmets" move into Gaza, a new western run aid NGO moves in and real a Palestinian Govt is established. It will be a forced 2 State Solution.
That may very well be the best solution. The question is whether western leaders have the attention span necessary to carry it out. This is not going to be a 10-second sound bite, which is about twice their attention spans.

So what happened to the PLO negotiated peace plan that had Hezbollah and Hamas reject it when they took office?

The Liberals are freaking out. Where to turn?
Responding to revelations of involvement, on Jan. 26, International Development Minister Ahmed Hussen announced the suspension of Canadian funding to UNRWA, while it “undertakes a thorough investigation into these allegations.”

That investigation has yet to be completed. However, on March 8, Hussen announced that the government was restoring funding to UNRWA, regardless of the outcome and without holding the agency accountable for the participation of its staff in the mass torture, rape and massacre of men, women and children.

Urgent aid is needed for Palestinians now — and it will continue to be needed when the war ends — but UNRWA is not the answer. It cannot be trusted to distribute aid, it is a physical proxy for Hamas and it uses its access to children to ensure the next generation is so fuelled by Jew-hatred and anti-Israel sentiment that peace will never be possible.

There is no viable post-conflict scenario where UNRWA can play a constructive role. UNRWA is part of the problem, not the solution — something our American allies showed they understand when they halted funding to UNRWA until 2025.

Is there an investigation into the 200+ aid workers that were killed by IDF so far?

I’ve gotta be to work in 10 minutes, so I’ll leave that in your hands to answer. Is there?
Just the recent 7 that caught the IDF with their panties around their ankles. Its starting to float to the surface.
According to the United Nations, a total of 224 humanitarian aid workers have been killed since the start of the war. Monday's strike has inflamed global outrage that has coalesced into international pressure, forcing Israel to open new points of entry for humanitarian aid.

UN mourns the deaths of more than 100 aid workers in Gaza, the highest number killed in any conflict in its history​

By Hande Atay Alam and Helen Regan, CNN
Updated 12:05 PM EST, Tue November 14,
More United Nations aid workers have been killed in Gaza than in any other single conflict in the organization’s 78-year history, the UN said Monday, a stark reminder that humanitarian staff from global agencies have not been spared from Israel’s relentless bombardment of the besieged strip.
A total of 102 aid workers with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian Refugees (UNRWA) were killed and 27 others wounded in Gaza since Israel’s war with Hamas began more than a month ago, the agency said.
“In the last 24 hours, one UNRWA staff member was killed with her family in the north of the Gaza Strip due to strikes,” the agency said in a statement. “This is the highest number of United Nations aid workers killed in a conflict in the history of the United Nations.”
Sweeeeet. Saint Israel....

The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) has less than 19,000 employees worldwide to manage 29.4 million refugees across the world, not to mention the tens of millions more internally displaced persons, asylum seekers and stateless people across 135 countries.
UNRWA, on the other hand, employs 30,000 people, in Gaza to service a claimed figure of 5.9 million refugees.
