Apparently the answer to that question is "yes":
Israel is intensifying its assault on humanitarian aid efforts in the besieged Gaza Strip, with accusations against officials from two more international agencies.
Meanwhile, the global Christian charity World Vision has rebutted Israeli claims that its Gaza director could have diverted tens of millions of dollars to the Palestinian resistance organization Hamas.
Israel detained Mohammad El Halabi in June, interrogated him for more than 50 days and then charged him with diverting up to $50 million to the military wing of Hamas.
There are also new indications that Israel’s Shin Bet secret police tortured Halabi to extract the confessions it is relying on.
On Monday, Kevin Jenkins, president and CEO of World Vision International, said his organization is “seeking to understand the truth behind the allegations laid against Mohammad El Halabi,” and had suspended operations in Gaza pending investigations.

If this is true, Mr. Halabi was tortured for trying to provide humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.
Q: Why does the US definition of "responsibility to protect" include the use of bombs and other weapons of mass destruction on civilian populations, while anyone trying to help Gazans protect themselves from Israeli aggression is a "terrorist"?
A: Only G-d knows the answer to that one.
