GENEVA (Reuters) – The U.N. World Food Programme said on Monday that Israeli forces opened fire on its convoy in Gaza on Jan. 5 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, the WFP statement said.
