UN Convoy Attacked in North Gaza<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tJerusalem – Today at 3pm a United Nations convoy departing Erez crossing for Gaza City was attacked and fired upon by masked men.<\/strong>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tAll three cars were clearly marked as UN vehicles.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tThe attack occurred approximately one kilometer south of Erez crossing. A vehicle blocked the UN convoy. Three armed men jumped out and attempted to open the doors of the\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
\n\t\t\t\tmiddle car in the convoy.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tWhen it became clear that the vehicle doors were locked, they opened fire directly on the car, resulting in 11 bullet holes in the vehicle’s side.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tDirector of UNRWA’s Field Office Gaza, John Ging, and the others in the convoy escaped injury and were able to travel safely to UNRWA’s Gaza Headquarters, Gaza City.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\tUNRWA’s Commissioner-General, Karen Koning AbuZayd, condemned in the strongest possible terms “this unprecedented attack on UN staff in Gaza” and urged that those responsible be identified forthwith and brought to justice.\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n
