The UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe Lazzarini posted on his official X account of heavy shooting from the Israeli Forces at a UN convoy heading to Gaza City.
“While there are no casualties, our teams had to duck and take cover.
This took place yesterday and the teams were traveling in clearly marked UN armoured cars and wearing UN vests,” Lazzarini stated.
“One vehicle received at least five bullets while waiting just ahead of the Israeli Forces’ checkpoint south of Wadi Gaza.
The car was severely damaged, it left the convoy. The teams re-assembled and finally reached Gaza City.”
Like all other similar UN movements, this movement was coordinated and approved by the Israeli Authorities.
