Philippe Lazzarini, the head of the UN agency for Palestinians (UNRWA), says Israeli forces shot at a UN convoy heading to Gaza City yesterday, despite the movement being coordinated and approved by Israeli authorities.
“One vehicle received at least five bullets while waiting just ahead of the Israeli Forces’ checkpoint south of Wadi Gaza,” he said on X. “The car was severely damaged, it left the convoy. The teams re-assembled & finally reached Gaza City.”
Lazzarini added that the teams were “traveling in clearly marked UN armoured cars and wearing UN vests”, yet still had to duck and take cover.
He called for those responsible to be held accountable.
