World Food Programme condemns Israeli attack on its Gaza convoy
7/1/2025 5:52
The U.N. World Food Programme said on Monday that Israeli forces had opened fire on one of its convoys in the besieged Palestinian enclave of Gaza in what it called a "horrifying incident".
The agency said the convoy of three vehicles carrying eight staff members from central Gaza to Gaza City in the north was struck by 16 bullets near the Wadi Gaza checkpoint on Sunday, causing no injuries but immobilising the convoy.
The vehicles were clearly marked and had received prior security clearances from Israeli authorities, a WFP statement said.
"The World Food Programme (WFP) strongly condemns the horrifying incident on January 5," it said.
