UNRWA director says Israeli forces fired on humanitarian aid convoy in northern Gaza

The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees says an aid convoy came under fire by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip without causing any casualties.

According to UNRWA’s director in Gaza, Thomas White, the UN aid convoy was returning from northern Gaza on a route designated for humanitarian aid when it came under fire.

“Our international convoy leader and his team were not injured but one vehicle sustained damage,” White writes on X, formerly Twitter.

“Aid workers should never be a target,” he adds.

The IDF says it is looking into the reports.
