Israel strikes convoy in Gaza, killing transport workers

Israel attacked a convoy in Gaza, killing workers and causing international concern. The convoy belonged to the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) organization and was targeted by the Israeli army.

The UN Security Council meeting highlighted that a UN Food Agency (WFP) vehicle was also fired upon. Meanwhile, a polio vaccination campaign was launched in Gaza, with the World Health Organization (WHO) urging for 90% coverage to prevent an epidemic.

A total of 1.26 million vaccine doses have been delivered, with more expected. In the West Bank, clashes occurred during Israel's operation, resulting in the death of at least 19 Palestinians.

Overall, the situation in the Middle East remains tense, with calls for a ceasefire and concern over regional escalation. The EU is considering sanctions on Israeli ministers for hate speech, while the US Deputy Ambassador to the UN emphasized the need for Israel to prevent attacks on the UN.

The ongoing conflict has also affected healthcare infrastructure, with hospitals and vaccination centers being damaged or closed.
