Israeli drone strike on Gaza humanitarian aid convoy results in 12 fatalities amid worsening hunger crisis | Latest developments in Israel-Palestine conflict


An Israeli attack on Palestinian security guards escorting a humanitarian aid shipment in the Gaza Strip has resulted in at least 12 deaths and dozens of injuries. The incident occurred as civilian guards were targeted while securing an aid convoy in southern Gaza. This attack is part of a pattern of Israeli forces targeting aid workers, convoys, and those trying to deliver essential supplies to the embattled territory. The Gaza Strip is facing food shortages and fears of famine, exacerbated by an Israeli military ground operation and siege.

In addition to this recent attack, reports indicate that six people, including children, were killed in another Israeli attack on a residential building in Gaza City, with further casualties in Nuseirat refugee camp. The Gaza Ministry of Health has reported thousands of Palestinian deaths and injuries since the conflict began.

The UN agency for Palestinian refugees, UNRWA, has paused aid deliveries due to challenges posed by the ongoing siege, Israeli restrictions, and the targeting of aid convoys by authorities. UNRWA chief Philippe Lazzarini has called for the safe and uninterrupted delivery of aid to Gaza, emphasizing the need for political will to facilitate humanitarian access.

Despite the difficult circumstances, a joint UN aid convoy has successfully provided urgent food supplies to thousands of people in southern and central Gaza. The UN’s associate administrator for the Development Programme has expressed shock at the devastation in Gaza, highlighting the urgent need for support and the unique challenges facing the region. Efforts to ensure safe and continuous humanitarian access remain critical in order to address the growing crisis in Gaza.
