On Monday, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) said Israeli forces fired on one of the group’s aid convoys in Gaza and strongly denounced the attack.
The WFP said the convoy was “clearly marked” and that 16 bullets struck three vehicles that were carrying a total of eight aid workers. None of the aid workers were hurt in the attack.
The WFP said the aid convoy had obtained the necessary clearances to operate in the area.
“ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A [WFP] convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances,” Cindy McCain, the executive director of the WFP, wrote on X.
“We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid,” McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, added in her post.

An Israeli army dog mauled a pregnant Palestinian woman. Then she lost the baby Tahrir Husni al-Arian, nine-months pregnant, could see pieces of her flesh falling to the ground as an Israeli combat dog savaged her thigh.
The Palestinian mother of three was at home with her husband and children in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip when the Israeli military invaded al- Manara, their neighbourhood. It was 24 October 2024.
The dog attack, which lasted about 10 minutes, left Arian in unbearable pain and caused complications that would last for months, ultimately leading to the loss of her newborn.
Since then, the 34-year-old has been unable to return to her own home, grappling with deep trauma.
In Khan Younis, she shared her harrowing account with Middle East Eye.
