Only in the Middle East could delivering aid become a warzone dodgeball game.

Meanwhile, truck drivers warn it's getting too dangerous to deliver aid, with Israeli settlers reportedly attacking Gaza-bound convoys. Healthcare facilities face direct attacks and blocked ambulances, making 'protection guaranteed by international humanitarian law' sound like a neon sign flashing 'Out of Order.' As one sarcastic observer might say, 'Back in my day, hospital was a safe place, not an obstacle course.'
