The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.

Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.

Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.

    As are those who support them.

    Let’s never forget the enablers of the Zionist Genocide.

      You probably pay taxes in a state funding Israel. Go to Palestine and fight for what you believe in. Don’t let your dreams be dreams.

        Alternativelly (and achievable rather than an Appeal To Absurd Falacy), campaign against assholes who support ethno-Fascists.

        Even Americans in their barelly-so Democracy can do this at a local level against “Friends of Israel” and APAIC-supported Congressmen.
