MANAMA, Bahrain — The International Committee of the Red Cross’s director-general tells AFP that humanitarian workers were being targeted in Gaza and in Sudan, where five volunteers were killed this week.

“It is now becoming a pattern of violence against humanitarian workers in Sudan, in Gaza, and others that we find very dramatic,” Pierre Krahenbuhl tells AFP in Bahrain.
