Anera says attack on convoy heading to an Emirati hospital ‘was carried out without any prior warning or communication’.
An Israeli missile hit a convoy carrying medical supplies and fuel to an Emirati hospital in the Gaza Strip, killing several people from a local transport company, the American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) group has said.
Israel claimed without immediate evidence that it opened fire after gunmen seized the convoy.
The strike killed several people employed by a transportation company that the aid group was using to bring supplies to the Emirates Red Crescent Hospital in Rafah, Sandra Rasheed, Anera’s director for the Palestinian territory, said on Friday.
The strike happened Thursday on Salah al-Din Street in the Gaza Strip and hit the convoy’s first vehicle.
