The World Food Programme (WFP) announced today that it has temporarily suspended its operations across Gaza following a security incident in which one of its trucks came under fire near an Israeli military checkpoint.
In a separate incident, a United Nations truck carrying humanitarian aid was reportedly hit by gunfire in the Gaza Strip, according to the French news agency AFP. The attack resulted in damage to the vehicle.
Israeli forces have continued their intense airstrikes and artillery attacks across Gaza, leading to devastating casualties among civilians. The ongoing violence has exacerbated an already dire humanitarian situation in the region.
The humanitarian crisis in Gaza is worsening rapidly under the current blockade. Over 90% of the population has been forced to flee their homes due to relentless bombing and destruction, leaving residents in desperate need of assistance.
