GAZA (National Times) The World Health Organization chief has reported that Israeli tanks fired on an aid convoy authorized to travel from war-torn northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reported.
“Last Saturday, on the way back from a mission to the northern Gaza [Strip] and after a WHO-led convoy got clearance and crossed the coast road checkpoint, the convoy encountered two Israeli tanks,” said Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
“Shots were fired from the tanks near the convoy. Luckily nobody was hurt. This is unacceptable.”
This incident occurred just a week after the UN reported that a convoy carrying workers for a polio vaccination campaign in Gaza had been held at gunpoint at an Israeli military checkpoint.
