World Food Programme Condemns Israeli Attack on Gaza Aid Convoy

The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) has condemned the Israeli military for opening fire on one of its aid convoys in Gaza, calling it a horrifying incident. The convoy, which consisted of three vehicles carrying eight staff members, was struck by 16 bullets near the Wadi Gaza checkpoint on Sunday. While no injuries were reported, the attack immobilised the convoy.

The WFP emphasised that the vehicles were clearly marked and had received prior security clearances from Israeli authorities.

The Israeli military did not provide an immediate response to the incident. Aid organisations have frequently accused Israeli forces of hindering humanitarian operations in Gaza during the ongoing conflict.
