According to CNN on February 21, according to UN documents and CNN's analysis, on February 5, Israeli forces in central Gaza headed for a UN convoy carrying food, eventually stopping trucks from advancing towards northern Gaza. Palestinians in northern Gaza are on the brink of famine.
Records of communications between the United Nations and the Israeli military show that the two sides agreed on the route of the convoy before the attack, the report said. According to an internal incident report compiled by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East, one of the 10 trucks was attacked when it stopped at an Israeli stand-by point.
No one was injured in the convoy, but most of the cargo — mainly wheat flour, which is necessary for baking bread — was destroyed, the report said.
Juliette Tooma, head of UNRWA Liaison Department, said: "A convoy carrying food is heading to the northern Gaza Strip. The convoy was attacked as it marched to what we call the Central Region. One of the trucks carrying supplies was hit by artillery fire from the Israeli army. ”
According to the report, the IDF previously said it was investigating the incident.
According to the report, this is one of many attacks on rescue operations that have occurred since the beginning of the war.
Following the attacks of 5 February, UNRWA decided to halt sending convoys to northern Gaza. (Compiled by Hu Xue).
