Sandra Rasheed, Anera’s director for the Palestinian territory, has said that the strike resulted in the deaths of multiple individuals working for a transportation company that was helping deliver supplies to the Emirates Red Crescent Hospital in Rafah. The incident occurred on Thursday on Salah al-Din Street in the Gaza Strip, targeting the lead vehicle of the convoy.

“Despite this devastating incident, our understanding is that the remaining vehicles in the convoy were able to continue and successfully deliver the aid to the hospital. We are urgently seeking further details about what happened,” the Associated Press quoted Rasheed as saying.

In a subsequent statement, Anera reported that four Palestinians had lost their lives. The organization mentioned that its “coordinated and approved transport plan included unarmed security personnel in the convoy” alongside its local partner, a firm named Move One.

“Shortly after departing Kerem Shalom, initial reports indicate that four community members with experience in previous missions and engagement in community security with Move One stepped forward and requested to take command of the leading vehicle, citing concern that the route was unsafe and at risk of being looted,” Anera said.

Reuters reported that Francesca Albanese, the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the Occupied Territories, addressed the UN rights body in Geneva with a report titled “The Anatomy of a Genocide”, stating that it is her responsibility to share the worst examples of human behavior. She claimed that there is evidence to suggest that a genocide may have been committed against Palestinians in Gaza, with over 30,000 deaths reported. She called on member states to fulfill their duties by imposing sanctions and an arms embargo on Israel to prevent further atrocities. This statement was met with applause.

Earlier, during a Pentagon meeting with Israel Defence Minister Gallant, US Defence Secretary Lloyd Austin emphasized the need to protect Palestinian civilians, describing the situation in Gaza as a “humanitarian disaster” and stressing its moral and strategic importance.
