Israel accused by WFP

THE United Nations food agency has accused Israel of using tanks, snipers and other weapons to fire on a crowd of Palestinians seeking food aid, in what the territory's Health Ministry said was one of the deadliest days for aid-seekers.
-
The World Food Programme (WFP) condemned the violence that erupted in northern Gaza last Sunday as Palestinians tried to reach a convoy of trucks carrying food. The Health Ministry in Gaza said at least 80 people were killed in the incident.
The Israeli military has said it fired warning shots “to remove an immediate threat”, but has questioned the death toll reported by the Palestinians.
The accusation by a major aid agency that has had generally good working relations with Israel builds on descriptions by witnesses and others, who also said Israel opened fire on the crowd.
