The UN World Food Program (WFP) has condemned an incident in which Israeli forces opened fire on one of its convoys in the Gaza Strip. The convoy of three vehicles, carrying eight staff members, was struck by 16 bullets near the Wadi Gaza checkpoint on Sunday, although no one was injured. The vehicles were clearly marked and had obtained prior security clearances from Israeli authorities. The WFP described the incident as “horrifying” and called for improvements in security conditions to allow aid to continue to reach those in need. This is the latest example of the complex and dangerous working environment faced by aid agencies operating in the region.
