Gaza’s Government Media Office issued a statement accusing the United Nations’ World Food Programme (WFP) of a “catastrophic error [on Sunday]… resulting in the deaths of two citizens and dozens injured,” Al Jazeera reports.

The media office accused the WFP of “violating the correct protocol followed and implemented in securing aid trucks”, but did not provide details or elaborate on what the WFP allegedly did.

The statement added that, “we hold the WFP fully responsible for this dangerous operational failure and demand that it assumes its ethical and humanitarian responsibilities regarding what happened.”
