Mr. Ramesh Rajasingham:

We have faced numerous problems and humanitarians have increasingly been targeted in conflict situations. The Deputy may have seen several reports in recent years on the targeting of health professionals in north-west Syria. Similarly, we have had that experience in Afghanistan and we have seen many of our colleagues pass and be killed recently in Gaza, for example. Throughout all these conflicts an increased number of aid workers have been killed in the line of duty and sometimes in their homes as well. It seems that in the past few years, the incidence of this has risen and there has almost been a loss of innocence in terms of respect for the principles under which we operate.
