UNICEF says Israeli fire killed water truck drivers in Gaza, forcing suspension of critical aid operations supplying hundreds of thousands.

Key Developments

  • UNICEF says it is “outraged” by killing of water truck drivers.
  • Attack targets key water distribution point serving Gaza City.
  • UNICEF suspends operations due to security concerns, demands investigation and accountability.

Israeli Fire Kills Aid Workers

UNICEF said it is “outraged” after Israeli fire killed two drivers contracted to deliver clean water to families in Gaza.

In a statement issued on Friday, the agency confirmed that the men were killed at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza during routine water delivery work.

Two others were injured in the same incident.

The Mansoura site is the only operational truck filling point connected to the Mekorot water supply line serving Gaza City.

According to UNICEF, the facility is used multiple times daily to support water deliveries to hundreds of thousands of people, including children.

The agency stressed that the attack occurred during standard operations, with no changes in routes or procedures.

Operations Suspended

Following the incident, UNICEF said contractors have been instructed to suspend activities at the site until security conditions improve.

The suspension threatens access to clean water for large segments of the population already facing severe shortages.

UNICEF called on Israeli authorities to immediately investigate the incident and ensure full accountability.

“Humanitarian workers, essential service providers, and civilian infrastructure, including critical water facilities, must never be targeted,” the agency said.

It emphasized that the protection of civilians and aid workers is a legal obligation under international humanitarian law.

The attack comes amid an ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, where access to water, healthcare, and basic services remains severely restricted.

UNICEF warned that the incident endangers vital operations that sustain daily life for hundreds of thousands of civilians.
