UN calls on Israel to stop targeting aid convoys in Gaza

Geneva, SANA-The United Nations Human Rights Office in the Occupied Palestinian Territory called on the Israeli occupation to immediately stop its attacks against Palestinians trying to provide security for humanitarian aid convoys and other supplies.
