The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has paused the movement of its staff in the Gaza Strip "until further notice" after one of its vehicles was hit by bullets near an Israeli military checkpoint. The incident, which occurred on a day when no one was injured, marks the first time a WFP vehicle has been directly shot at near a checkpoint during the 10-month-long war. The WFP has announced a suspension of employee movement across the Gaza Strip, citing the safety concerns raised by the incident.
