On Monday, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) said Israeli forces fired on one of the group’s aid convoys in Gaza and strongly denounced the attack.
The WFP said the convoy was “clearly marked” and that 16 bullets struck three vehicles that were carrying a total of eight aid workers. None of the aid workers were hurt in the attack.
The WFP said the aid convoy had obtained the necessary clearances to operate in the area.
“ABSOLUTELY UNACCEPTABLE: A [WFP] convoy, clearly marked & carrying 8 team members, was shot at by Israeli forces near Wadi Gaza despite prior clearances,” Cindy McCain, the executive director of the WFP, wrote on X.
“We MUST have safe, secure access to continue delivering life-saving aid,” McCain, the widow of Senator John McCain, added in her post.
The Israeli military has targeted aid workers throughout its genocidal war on Gaza. The WFP said the latest attack came after a missile struck a flour distribution warehouse in central Gaza run by a UN aid partner over the weekend, seriously injuring three humanitarian workers.
The incident that gained the most attention was the Israeli strike that killed seven workers for the World Central Kitchen on April 1, 2024. The strike killed six foreign aid workers, including three British citizens and one American.
Israel’s targeting of Palestinian aid workers has gotten much less attention. The UN’s Palestinian relief agency, UNRWA, said on Saturday that 263 of its employees have been killed by Israeli forces since October 7, 2023.
After suffering the horrors of the Holocaust, how can Israel behave in such a way with regard to the Palestinians?!…
That's just it! These present-day Israelis did NOT suffer under the Holocaust, any more than present-day blacks did not suffer racism like their predecessors! Israel uses the so-called Holocaust to "justify" its genocidal actions!
That didn't seem to matter much in 1948, some of the worst Israeli war criminals were survivors of the Warsaw Ghetto and Lvov. The Israeli military seems to have cultivated early the ability to turn normal people into sociopathic mass murderers. Now it's almost their entire culture.
A survey this time last year by Israeli media found that over three quarters of adult Israelis thought the IDF wasn't using enough force. Another a couple of months later found that almost two thirds felt that NO aid should be allowed into Gaza, even though they knew that would mean the slow, miserable death by starvation of everyone there, including children.
It's a sick, sick society.
They just lament not having control over the stories told about events.
The sickest society in the World…!
So why is the US not only going along with the genocide, but also funding it? We are just as disgusting as the Israelis.
Of course the IDF attacked a clearly marked food program aid convoy. You can't have people feeding the Palestinians while the most moral army in the world is working hard to exterminate them.
This is not the first time. The zionists are trigger happy supremacists. No one stops them, yet.
Rump has sworn to INCREASE military donations to the Zionists, and has toyed with the idea of putting American boots on the ground to help.
It depends on what he actually does. The specifics will matter.
However, we’ve seen him drop pro-life. He might drop Israel at some point. While some of his grandchildren are Jewish; some are not.
Do narcissists care about their descendants? Or just themselves? I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t care what religion they were, since their religion is simply worship of themselves.
The USS Liberty was clearly marked as well, but that didn't stop Israel from deliberately attacking her and killing American sailors.
That is well document friendly fire incident. And the ship was not that well marked as you claim. And when Israel ships arrived onsite, the Liberty fired at them first. This was understandable mistake given the previous air attacks, but it was a mistake that contribute to the friendly fire incident.
It’s amazing the ease with which you lie. Absolutely nothing you said was true.
If the convoy were marked as carrying poison, it would have been safe.
That would make the Israeli genocide easier… wouldn't it…?!
To be honest, the Israelis make me question why the Germans used fancy gas. Why not just stop feeding and watering them? Food was short…
But yea poisoned food or water that could be blamed on Hamas!
Read the history of WW2 Eastern front. The Germans did cut food supply to the Russians civilians killing larger number of them.
To the Russians maybe, but we always hear about the camps.
Wow. The first in history of modern war fare. A bust machine gun fired at the wrong target.
The mental gymnastics you must go through to come up with these explanations must be exhausting. What a miserable existence that must be.
"The incident that gained the most attention was the Israeli strike that killed seven workers for the World Central Kitchen on April 1, 2024. The strike killed six foreign aid workers, including three British citizens and one American."
Speaking of which, Biden awarded the Founder of WCK, Jose Andres, a Medal of Freedom a few days ago.
This world is insane.
