1. This pier was risky from the start for a number of reasons.

While I respect anyone doing the right thing and feeding starving people, being in an active combat zone
is very dangerous for everyone. Just because you are an aid worker does not provide a guarantee of safety.

I do not understand why people are shocked when a aid worker is killed. Certainly any rational person
knows you may not get out of a dangerous combat zone alive.

And then of course the military might use the pier for military operations.
Which is to be expected. They are in a life and death fight, so will use whatever they
can.
