The Israeli military has killed two truck drivers working under contract for UNICEF at a water filling point in the northern Gaza Strip, forcing the UN children’s agency to suspend its operations at the site, UNICEF has said.
Two other people were wounded in the attack, which took place at the Mansoura water filling point in Gaza City, the agency confirmed in a statement.
UNICEF said the point is used multiple times a day to deliver clean water to hundreds of thousands of people in Gaza City, drawn from the Mekorot water supply line.
The agency said onsite activities had been suspended until security conditions in the area are restored.
