WHO chief claims Israeli tanks fired on Gaza aid convoy last weekend

The World Health Organization chief says that Israeli tanks last weekend fired on an aid convoy that had been cleared to travel back from war-ravaged northern Gaza.

“Last Saturday, on the way back from a mission to the northern Gaza and after a WHO-led convoy got clearance and crossed the coast road checkpoint, the convoy encountered two Israeli tanks,” Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says on X, formerly Twitter.

“Shots were fired from the tanks near the convoy. Luckily nobody was hurt,” he says. “This is unacceptable.”

There is no immediate response from the IDF.
