GAZA(Palestine Foundation Information Center)The Hamas Movement has called on the UN to take a firm position against the Israeli occupation army’s shooting attack on an UNRWA aid convoy, although there was prior coordination with it.
“What happened reflected a deliberate barbaric behavior by an entity that sees itself above law and accountability,” Hamas said in a statement on Friday.
Israeli soldiers opened fire on Friday morning at an UNRWA aid convoy as it was returning from northern Gaza along a route designated by the Israeli army, UNRWA said following the attack.
Last Thursday, UNRWA warned that “not enough aid is entering besieged Gaza, leaving 40 percent of its population at risk of famine amid Israeli curbs on entry of much-needed aid trucks to enter the enclave.”
UNRWA added that the besieged coastal enclave is “grappling with catastrophic hunger”, as it reiterated calls for a “humanitarian ceasefire” as non-stop Israeli bombs were raining over the heads of civilians across Gaza.
“Every day is a struggle for survival, finding food and finding water,” Thomas White, director of UNRWA affairs in Gaza, was quoted as saying on X.
“The reality is, we need more aid. The only remaining hope is a humanitarian ceasefire,” he added.
