Statement by Minister Kristiansen Tvinnereim on the attack on humanitarian workers in Gaza
News story | Date: 30/08/2024 | Ministry of Foreign Affairs
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.
