The World Food Programme has suspended all staff movement across Gaza after Israeli soldiers opened fire on one of its vehicles, hitting it 10 times. The vehicle was clearly marked as belonging to the U.N. and was part of a convoy that the U.N. had coordinated with the Israeli military. This is U.N. spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric.
Stéphane Dujarric: “I think after this conflict is over — and we hope it’s over much sooner than later — there will need to be accountability. There will be boards of inquiry to look at the destruction of U.N. property, the death of U.N. personnel, notably our security colleague.”
The U.N. Security Council is meeting today to discuss the humanitarian crisis and the delivery of aid in Gaza.
