(New York, 12 June 2025) Attacks on civilians in Gaza – including the killing and injury of hungry people seeking food and those delivering aid – are unacceptable.
United Nations convoys carrying humanitarian aid have been intercepted by armed Palestinian gangs, who endangered our staff and drivers. Civilians in desperate need of the food we're able to bring in have not been spared; some have been shot by Israeli forces, and others crushed by trucks or stabbed while trying to retrieve food.
