The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) temporarily suspends movements across the Gaza Strip after it claimed one of its clearly marked vehicles was struck by at least 10 bullets while approaching an Israeli military checkpoint.

WFP said in a statement that the convoy of two armored vehicles had received “multiple clearances by Israeli authorities to approach” the checkpoint at the Wadi Gaza bridge last night. No one in the vehicle struck was hurt.
