Israeli army says it stopped UN convoy in northern Gaza Strip

The Israeli military said today it has stopped a United Nations convoy in the northern Gaza Strip because it has information that several “Palestinian suspects” are in the convoy and wants to question them. “We emphasize that this is not a convoy carrying polio vaccines, but a convoy whose purpose is to exchange UN personnel. The incident is not over yet,” said an Israeli army spokesman. UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said the agency was aware of “an ongoing incident involving UN personnel and vehicles” and was working to establish the facts. He stated that the UN’s main priority “is the safety and protection of our colleagues”. Source: RES
