World Food Programme says Gaza aid convoy blocked

The World Food Programme has reported that a humanitarian aid convoy destined for Gaza has been blocked from reaching its destination.

The convoy, which was carrying much-needed food supplies for the people of Gaza, was reportedly stopped at a checkpoint and denied passage by the Israeli authorities.

This blockade has raised concerns about the well-being of the people in Gaza, who are already facing severe food shortages and other humanitarian crises.

The World Food Programme has called for the immediate lifting of the blockade and for access to be granted so that the aid can reach those in need.
