Sad and tragic.. But when you go to a war-ridden place, you cannot expect yourself exclusively to be spared from atrosoties... When in a war-ridden place, everyone is fair game, aid-worker or not.. His naivety led to his unfortunate demise.. |
Alternatively, he could have gone knowing and accepting the risks but went to help regardless. That's not really naive, it's commendable.

A potential, highly likely suicide-mission to ease his own need for appearing good to others is not commendable. This man did not know what he was getting himself into, believing his british citizenship to alieviate him from potential danger. Being british and coming from a stable home means nothing, and he was naive for believing it gave him some kind of ticket from experiencing the cruelties first hand.
he would not have gone, if he knew he would end up getting killed.

You can't assume to know his motivations for going or that he was naive to the risks. I seriously doubt anyone would go out there without knowing the risks or without being fully warned and prepped. Anyone that goes out there will know there is a significantly high probability that you'll either be killed or seriously injured, but at the end of the day, if he didn't go, someone else would have.
If anything, he would also know that being British/Western would make him a bigger target out there, regardless of the work he was doing.
