The UN’s children’s agency (Unicef) has said one of its vehicles was hit by “live ammunition” as it was waiting to enter northern Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

The agency did not elaborate on the damage but said it had raised the incident with the Israeli authorities.

“Sadly, humanitarian workers continue to face risks in delivering life-saving aid,” the agency wrote in a social media post. “Unless aid workers are protected, in accordance with IHL [international human rights law], humanitarian aid cannot reach people in need.”
