The World Food Programme (WFP) has announced a pause in the movement of its employees in the Gaza Strip “until further notice” after one of its vehicles was hit by gunfire just metres from an Israeli-controlled checkpoint.

UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric blamed Israel for the attack, telling reporters in New York that the “clearly marked” humanitarian vehicle was “struck 10 times” by Israeli gunfire, including with bullets targeting front windows.

Five of the bullets were on the driver’s side and some on the windscreen.

Dujarric said the convoy’s movements had been coordinated with the Israeli military and it had clearance to approach.

    Referring to the Gaza war as a new Holocaust, is Holocaust denial, which is antisemitic.

    Zionism is a national liberation movement of an oppressed people. That’s the core.

      If it’s a new Holocaust then the famous one has to have happened which by the by was not the first Holocaust nor only Holocaust.

      Implying no other genocide could be a Holocaust is Holocaust denial boss.
