Don't feel too beleaguered. It's a hot topic that incites a lot of emotion. Especially as this conflict seems to have interestingly become a proxy battle between the forces of disinformation and reality within our own Western political systems at large.
My father was on a project in the Middle East (forget the country) and he was walking down the street with a colleague when a camel dribbled goop on his friend. The guy smacked the camel's snout in annoyance and the camel pulled his arm right out of its socket without a moment's hesitation.
I don't understand one thing. How come all the doormen, secretaries, IT staff, etc. etc. survived the attack but the Ambassador was killed? It seems a bit unlikely. I've visited a few embassies and I don't see how 10 James Bond's could've broken through.
If you're going to give money, just whatever you do, don't give it to The Red Cross. Less than 3% ever makes it through. The rest is soaked up in executive fees, advertising, "administration", private jets, etc.
