UNICEF Says Israeli Fire Kills Two Gaza Water Truck Drivers
UNICEF suspended water deliveries and called for an investigation after the attack injured two other drivers, the agency said.
- UNICEF suspended water deliveries in the Gaza Strip on Friday after two drivers contracted by the agency were killed by Israeli fire at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza.
- The incident occurred amid lingering tensions following an October ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that halted two years of combat but left Israeli troops controlling depopulated zones across Gaza.
- Two other individuals were injured in the attack. The United Nations agency stressed that humanitarian workers, civilians, and vital water infrastructure must be protected under international humanitarian law.
- UNICEF said it was "outraged," calling on Israeli authorities to investigate, while Israel's embassy in Washington did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
- More than 750 Palestinians have been killed since the October truce began, according to local medics, as both sides continue trading blame for ceasefire violations.
