"A clearly marked humanitarian vehicle, part of a convoy that had been fully coordinated with the IDF, was struck 10 times by IDF gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows," said Dujarric, emphasizing the seriousness of the situation regarding safety in Gaza.
"This is the latest incident to underscore that systems in place for coordination are not working, and we continue to work with the IDF to ensure that incidents like that do not happen again," Dujarric noted, highlighting ongoing challenges in ensuring safety for humanitarian operations.
"We have no way to assess the mindset of those who are shooting at us," he added, indicating a lack of clarity and communication that could lead to further dangerous incidents.
"It's not the first case of a UN vehicle being hit since the start of Israel's military operations in Gaza following Hamas' October 7 terror attacks on Israel," outlining the recurrent risks faced by UN personnel in the region.
