GAZA (Palestine Foundation Information Center) Israeli airstrikes continued across Gaza overnight into Monday, while the UN World Food Program (WFP) reported that one of its aid convoys in the war-shattered enclave was targeted by Israeli fire on Sunday.
“At least 16 bullets” struck the convoy of three vehicles carrying eight staff members which came under fire near Wadi Gaza checkpoint. “Thankfully, no staff members were injured in this terrifying encounter,” the agency added.
All necessary clearances had been obtained from the Israeli authorities and WFP said that it was “just the latest example of the complex and dangerous working environment” confronting its teams.
The development comes amid reports that a missile struck a flour distribution warehouse in central Gaza run by a UN aid partner at the weekend, leaving three humanitarian workers seriously injured.
