Six Palestinians are believed to have died in the Gaza City incident and 83 more were wounded as they waited for aid trucks to arrive at Kuwait Roundabout, according to news reports.
The development came after relief chief Martin Griffiths condemned the bombardment on Wednesday of a warehouse and food distribution centre in southern Rafah which killed at least one employee of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) and injured 22 others.
“Devastating news for our colleagues in Gaza who have borne so much loss already, and for the families they were trying to
help,” the UN Emergency Relief Coordinator said in a post on X. “How are we to maintain aid operations when our teams and supplies are constantly under threat? They must be protected. This war has to stop.”
