WFP condemns Israeli attack on its convoy in Gaza
The United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) says that Israeli forces opened fire on its convoy in Gaza yesterday in an incident it described as “horrifying”.
The agency said that its convoy of three vehicles carrying eight staff members was struck by 16 bullets near the Wadi Gaza checkpoint, causing no injuries. The convoy was clearly marked and had received prior security clearances from Israeli authorities, a WFP statement said.
The Israeli army has attacked aid convoys in the Gaza Strip numerous times, causing deaths. The most recent incident came last month, when an attack on Palestinian security guards escorting an aid shipment killed at least 12 people and injured dozens.

Children among casualties of Israeli attack on al-Mawasi
We reported earlier how the Israeli military again bombed the so-called “humanitarian zone” near Khan Younis.
Videos released by activists and local platforms on social media, which were verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency, showed children comprised most of the people injured in the attack.
The wounded arrived at Nasser Hospital for treatment, with local sources reporting that the bombing of al-Mawasi led to the killing of a Palestinian woman.
