Israeli Occupation Bombs UN Aid Truck in Gaza

Arab Newsfeature

Occupied Al-Quds – (ST)- The United Nations World Food Program announced on Wednesday the suspension of its crew movements in Gaza Strip until further notice due to the Israeli occupation bombing of one of its trucks.

The Palestinian news agency, WAFA, quoted the spokesman for the UN Secretary-General as saying, “The Israeli army targeted a truck carrying humanitarian aid within a convoy that had been coordinated.”

“This is completely unacceptable and the latest in a series of senseless security-related incidents that have put the lives of WFP teams in Gaza at risk,” Cindy McCain, head of the World Food Programme, said.

UN Secretary-General’s spokesman Stephane Dujarric said last night that “a clearly identifiable UN humanitarian aid truck, part of a fully coordinated convoy, was hit by Israeli fire ten times.”

This is not the first time that an international organization convoy has been subjected to gunfire by the occupation forces since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Gaza Strip.

Last May, the occupation bombed a UN aid convoy, resulting in casualties of foreign nationalities.
