The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.
Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.
Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.
Gaza, mostly thanks to Israel, remains the most dangerous conflict for aid workers now and perhaps in history.
Don’t forget when IDF killed 3 Israeli hostages escaping Hamas who were shirtless, unarmed, and waving a white flag.
At every turn, Israel and Bibi need to be associated with Russia and Putin — for that’s exactly how they behave.
