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're implying that aid workers are going into dangerous areas to provide help just to appear good and totally naive towards risks.
Nobody knows their exact fate, but that doesn't mean they don't understand risk. Ofcourse if someone knows their life is certainly going to end then they are not likely to carry themselves to the slaughter, but that is not the case. The risk is existential, it is far more dangerous than living safely in Britain, but far from certain. Something like 1 in 1000 aid workers are murdered a year, in the worst case scenarios.
