Statement by Minister Kristiansen Tvinnereim on the attack on humanitarian workers in Gaza
Government of Norway
News story | Date: 30/08/2024
I am shocked that a clearly marked UN vehicle was directly hit by gunfire while approaching an Israeli check point.
The vehicle carrying World Food Program staff was targeted despite receiving multiple clearances from the IDF.
Gaza is the most dangerous place in the world for humanitarian workers. It is utterly unacceptable that humanitarians, yet again, are targeted while providing lifesaving assistance to civilians. International humanitarian law must be respected, always and everywhere.
This incident should immediately be investigated.
