May 02, 2024

Gaza [Palestine], May 2: Two Jordanian aid convoys carrying food, flour, and other humanitarian aid were attacked by Israeli settlers on Wednesday morning on their way into Gaza, reports Jordan's state-run Petra news agency, citing the Foreign Ministry.
The convoys, one taking the Beit Hanoon crossing and another taking the Karem Abu Salem crossing from Israel into Gaza, were targeted by the settlers who dumped some of their cargo and damaged the trucks, said the ministry, noting that the trucks continued the aid delivery mission.
In a statement carried by Petra, ministry spokesman Sufyan Qudah said, "The extremists' attack on the two convoys, and the failure of the Israeli authorities to provide protection for them, undermine all the Israeli government's claims and commitments to allowing aid to enter Gaza."
