UN Accuses Israeli Army of Firing on Humanitarian Convoy in Gaza

The World Food Programme condemned the incident, calling for improved safety for aid operations in the conflict-stricken region.

A UN World Food Programme convoy of three clearly marked vehicles came under fire in Gaza on January 5, allegedly from Israeli forces.
The convoy had received prior authorization from Israeli authorities, and no injuries were reported among the eight staff members on board.
This marks the latest in a series of attacks on UN vehicles in Gaza, with previous incidents in 2024 resulting in the suspension of aid operations and the death of a UN employee.
The World Food Programme described the attack as 'unacceptable' and highlighted the dangerous conditions under which humanitarian agencies are operating in Gaza.
The Israeli army has acknowledged the incident and stated that it is under investigation, without confirming the source of the gunfire.
