The UN's food agency WFP accuses Israel of once again firing at a convoy carrying food and other aid to Gaza. In a statement, WFP writes that at least 16 bullets hit vehicles "clearly marked" as belonging to the organization.

The shooting allegedly took place near the Wadi Gaza border crossing.

"The convoy of three vehicles with eight staff members was fired at despite having received all necessary permits from Israeli authorities", WFP writes.

No one was injured in the shooting.

WFP reported on several occasions last year that its convoys were attacked. In December, two people were killed in subsequent looting.
