Sputnik Brazil A convoy of five humanitarian aid trucks and two International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) vehicles was attacked in Gaza City this Tuesday (7).
A group of five humanitarian aid trucks and two International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) vehicles were attacked in Gaza City, leaving the organization “very concerned,” the organization said in an official press release.
“The International Committee of the Red Cross is deeply concerned that its humanitarian convoy in Gaza City was attacked today (7). “The ICRC reminds the parties of their obligation under international humanitarian law to always respect and protect the humanitarian concerns of workers,” the document says.
In addition, another organization providing humanitarian assistance, the United Nations Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA), reported that one of its schools in the Gaza Strip was the target of a bomb attack that killed at least one person and injured nine other people .
The committee said the humanitarian convoy was still able to deliver medical supplies to AlShifa Hospital. The organization said two trucks were damaged and a driver was slightly injured. A statement also said the trucks were “transporting essential medical supplies to health facilities, including the Palestinian Red Crescent Society’s AlQuds Hospital.”
CONTINUED AFTER RECOMMENDATIONS
SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS ARE CONSTANT TARGETS OF BOMBING IN GAZA The Palestinian office of the World Health Organization (WHO) reported today that Israeli bombings have so far left five hospitals damaged or nearly out of order, including a children’s hospital and a psychiatric hospital (7).
“The WHO documented five attacks on five hospitals in one day in Gaza City on November 5, leaving at least eight people dead and 174 injured,” the office posted on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
The organization clarified that among the hospitals bombed was the Rantisi Children’s Hospital, where the oncology department was damaged, as well as the only psychiatric center in Gaza. Earlier, Israel Defense Forces (IDF) spokesman Daniel Hagari said that members of the Palestinian movement Hamas were hiding in the largest hospital in the Gaza Strip, but would not prevent the Israeli army from reaching them.
When asked if the IDF would attack the hospital, he replied that the army would “go to any place where there are terrorists, to any infrastructure.” Hamas, in turn, denied the matter and invited the UN to visit the facilities and “investigate itself.”
